“We need a legitimate replacement in 2026”

Visits: 0

The Moele-Benin party does not have a dogmatic position on the successor to President Patrice Talon but would like power to be handed over to a group conscious and grateful to everything that has been done by the regime of rupture. At least that’s what Jacques Ayadji, president of the party, wants, received on E-télé, in the program “Entretien du Dimanche c’politique” on February 18, 2024.

What Moele-Benin expects in 2026 : Two years before the presidential elections, the Moele-Benin party chaired by Jacques Ayadji thinks that “legitimate succession” is needed. “The legitimate succession is that power, from the point of view of Moele-Benin cannot be put in the hands of someone or a chapel who thinks that nothing good has been done since 2016 in this day,” explains Jacques Ayadji during the show. For him, the legitimate succession is to identify a personality in the country who recognizes what good has been done in order to be able to strengthen it. To believe this, this person must be able to realize that, although we are generally satisfied with what has been done, there is still room for improvement. Regarding the next candidate, Moele-Benin is not considering anything. For Jacques Ayadji, Moele-Benin is in the presidential majority. “We are a faithful and loyal supporter of the head of state, we are waiting for the casting to be done,” he said. However, he recognizes that the names that slip on the lips of the Beninese, whether Olivier Boko, Johannes Dagnon, Romuald Wadagni and others, are “capable of being the legitimate next generation”.

What to remember from its position on the revision : During the program, Jacques Ayadji found that it is more faithful to follow the opinion of Patrice Talon who expressed his disagreement with the revision of the constitution, at least during his mandate. The president of the Moele-Benin party, Jacques Ayadji, clung to this position. In his explanations, it does not seem useful to think ipso facto of a modification of the constitution to respond to the invitation of the Constitutional Court. After analysis, he believes that we must instead adapt to the electoral code. This is also why he returned to these two proposals. The first wants the electoral code to be left as it is to take advantage of the eight days plus three provided by the legislator to allow candidates to complete their files. This means that candidates who have submitted their application file to the CENA on February 5, 2026 or before, will have until February 16, 2026 (i.e. 24 hours after the deadline for installation of the municipal councils) to submit their sponsorships. addition to their initial files. The second proposal is to reduce the deadline for submitting candidacy files to thirty and thirty days from the opening of the electoral campaign instead of the fifty and fifty days initially planned.
