Benin Opposition Supporters, Unions, Protest Boni Yayi Win

Supporters of Benin opposition candidate Adrien Houngbedji protested the March 13 election victory of President Thomas Boni Yayi, as a coalition of unions expressed concern about growing anger in the West African nation.

“Your real and elected president is Adrien Houngbedji,” said Atao Hinnouho, a local opposition official, told a crowd of about 400 supporters in the Akpakpa neighborhood of Cotonou, the commercial capital, today.
