Benin: Romuald Wadagni meets this Monday with MPs who resigned from the LD party
A political meeting is being prepared in Cotonou. According to corroborating information gathered this Sunday, November 2, 2025, the presidential movement’s candidate for the 2026 election, Romuald Wadagni, will hold a working and discussion session on Monday with the MPs who recently resigned from the party Les Démocrates.
Romuald Wadagni – Ministre de l’économie et des finances
This meeting comes amid political turbulence marked by the split of the main opposition party. The five MPs who left Boni Yayi’s formation have already cited grievances related to internal governance to justify their departure, a situation the party leadership has vigorously contested.
The announced meeting comes as the movement seeks to consolidate its alliances ahead of the 2026 elections, while the MPs who resigned redefine their stance.
It should be noted that since his endorsement as the movement’s candidate, the former Minister of State has stepped up consultations in an effort to rally political forces around a governance agenda presented as inclusive and consensual.
The meeting scheduled for Monday could shed light on the intentions of the MPs who resigned, clarify their future direction and offer a glimpse of the realignments underway in the National Assembly.
