Presidential elections in Benin 2011
The 2011 presidential elections in Benin took place on March 13, 2011 in the West African state of Benin , after having been postponed twice - from February 27 to March 6 and finally to the actual date of March 13. The elections officially ended with the victory of incumbent Boni Yayi . A second round - which would have taken place on March 27th - was not necessary because Boni Yayi had already received more than 50% of the votes in the first round. The opposition spoke of electoral fraud. Observers from the United Nations and the African Union , however, described the elections as free and transparent.
In the run-up to the elections there had been problems with the new computerized voter registration process. Protests by the opposition therefore led to the date being postponed twice, as around 1.3 million voters were not yet registered shortly before the original date.
