Benin election marked by low turnout: observers AFP 2 hrs ago AFP © PIUS UTOMI EKPEI Benin President Patrice Talon, seen here voting, was widely expected to win another term Benin s weekend election, in which President Patrice Talon was widely expected to win a second term, was marked by a low voter turnout, international election monitoring teams said Tuesday. Talon, a cotton tycoon first elected in 2016 to lead the West African state, is expected to secure re-election after a ballot on Sunday that critics say was already rigged in his favour. Most of Talon s key opponents are in exile or were disqualified from running in the election, leading to opposition calls for a boycott.
