After Union Progressiste le Renouveau (UP-R) and Bloc Républicain (BR), who were the first to collect their certificates on Monday, three other parties joined the list this Tuesday.
They are the party Les Démocrates (LD), the main opposition party, Force Cauris pour un Bénin Émergent (FCBE), also in opposition, and Moele-Bénin, a political formation of the presidential camp.
While they await their final certificates and the official start of campaigning, the race for the 2026 municipal elections is now on for these political parties.
