Lawmakers are set to review multiple legislative texts during this plenary session, including reforms to institutional frameworks, public project financing, and the nation’s electoral framework. The agenda reflects the government’s commitment to advancing democratic governance and sustainable development.

electoral code reforms take center stage

A key focus of the session is a proposal to repeal provisions from the second title of the first book of the 2024 Electoral Code. This legislative move could significantly impact the institution responsible for organizing elections in Bénin. The debate is expected to address concerns regarding electoral transparency and the integrity of future polls.

national projects and economic developments

Beyond electoral reforms, the assembly will examine a bill modifying the 2024 law establishing national orders in Bénin. Additionally, lawmakers will deliberate on a proposal to revise the organic law governing the Economic and Social Council, an institution whose statutes were last updated in March 2026.

Economic and cultural initiatives will also feature prominently, with deputies reviewing a decree authorizing the ratification of a credit agreement signed in June 2025 between Bénin and the French Development Agency (AFD). The funding, amounting to millions of euros, will support the construction of the Contemporary Art Museum in Cotonou, a landmark project aimed at promoting cultural heritage and tourism.
