FranceBenin's National Assembly has temporarily removed the Autonomous National Electoral Commission (CENA), which oversees the country's elections. This decision was framed as a cost-saving measure, citing recent constitutional reforms that extended the terms of the president, deputies, and local officials, thereby reducing the immediate need for elections. Authorities have announced a transition period to establish a new governing body aligned with these reforms. CENA's responsibilities include managing electoral processes and ensuring election integrity, but its effectiveness has come under scrutiny in recent years. The Council of Ministers will now determine how to dissolve CENA's current functions and safeguard its assets.
