Parliament: Louis Vlavonou chooses the Senate and leaves the National Assembly.

This choice marks the beginning of a new chapter for this key figure in Benin’s political life. To strictly adhere to the constitutional rules of incompatibility between the roles of deputy and senator, Louis Vlavonou has formalized his departure from the Governors’ Palace.

According to information reported by the national daily La Nation, he submitted his resignation letter on July 2nd to the president of the National Assembly, Joseph Djogbénou.

This transition marks an exceptional legislative journey. Elected deputy for the first time in 2003, this retired Customs colonel has left his mark on the country’s parliamentary life for nearly twenty years, including over six years spent in the presidency.

Thus, he is preparing to enter the Senate with a wealth of state experience.
