COTONOU, Mar 14 (AFP): Benin President Patrice Talon on Friday said he would not stand for an unconstitutional third term in office but would be watching the choice of his successor closely.
The former businessman has been in charge of the small west African nation since 2016 and his second term of office comes to end next year.
"I'm telling you again for the umpteenth time, no, I will not be a candidate," he said in an interview with Jeune Afrique.
