Benin: the bill sponsored by Aké Natondé and Assan Séïbou to be examined in plenary this Wednesday
The National Assembly is about to take a new decisive step in the process of revising the Constitution.
The bill initiated by MPs Aké Natondé and Assan Séïbou will be examined in plenary session on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, after its adoption by the laws committee last Monday.
This text, which has aroused strong political interest, notably provides for the establishment of a Senate in Benin and other institutional adjustments intended, according to its authors, to “modernize the functioning of the Republic.”
The plenary examination will allow deputies to rule on the admissibility of the bill before a potential vote to adopt it.
The initiative comes amid a political climate marked by extensive debate over the appropriateness of such a revision, just months before the 2026 presidential election.
Attention is now focused on Porto-Novo, where a major political sequence for the country’s institutional future will play out.
