2026 legislative elections: Charles Toko, Rachidi Gbadamassi and Samou Seidou Adambi will not be candidates
With just weeks to go before the legislative elections on January 11, 2026, Charles Toko, Rachidi Gbadamassi and Samou Seidou Adambi announced that they will not be running.
Three influential figures from the Beninese parliament, all from the presidential movement, have chosen to step back for the 2026 legislative elections. Charles Toko, Rachidi Gbadamassi and Samou Seidou Adambi confirmed that they will not be seeking a seat on January 11, 2026. The decision is presented as an act of responsibility, but above all as a strong gesture to encourage the emergence of young leaders.
According to information relayed by Peace FM, the three politicians say their carefully considered decision aims to make room for a new generation of political actors and to promote the renewal of the ruling class. For them, the time has come for young people to take their full place in the management of public affairs.
