Benin's New President Wadagni Forms Cabinet After Landslide Win

Romuald Wadagni, who previously served as finance minister under former President Patrice Talon, won 94% of the vote in the April 12th polls. In his inaugural speech, Wadagni promised to confront rising security threats and focus on job creation, access to basic services, and social protection.

"Our economy has progressed... But we all know that national growth only makes sense when it becomes visible in people's everyday lives," he said, while promising not to "yield to fear or complacency".
