Political Parties Established In 2018
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and nonviolent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it. A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external force, including w ...

Social Democratic Parties In Africa
Social organisms, including human(s), live collectively in interacting populations. This interaction is considered social whether they are aware of it or not, and whether the exchange is voluntary or not. Etymology The word "social" derives from the Latin word ''socii'' ("allies"). It is particularly derived from the Italian ''Socii'' states, historical allies of the Roman Republic (although they rebelled against Rome in the Social War of 91–87 BC). Social theorists In the view of Karl MarxMorrison, Ken. ''Marx, Durkheim, Weber. Formations of modern social thought'', human beings are intrinsically, necessarily and by definition social beings who, beyond being "gregarious creatures", cannot survive and meet their needs other than through social co-operation and association. Their social characteristics are therefore to a large extent an objectively given fact, stamped on them from birth and affirmed by socialization processes; and, according to Marx, in producing and reproducin ...

2020 Beninese Municipal Elections
Municipal elections were held in Benin on 17 May 2020 to elect all councillors in every municipality and commune. The elections took place despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Background The election came only a year after the highly controversial 2019 Beninese parliamentary election, 2019 parliamentary election which had seen new electoral laws and financial requirements prevent opposition parties running and saw the two parties aligned with President Patrice Talon, Progressive Union (Benin), Progressive Union and Republican Bloc, secure the National Assembly. These same constraints also severely suppressed opposition parties for the 2020 local election. The African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights even called for the election to be postponed but the Beninese authorities went ahead. Electoral system The 1,815 councillors were elected in 546 districts of the 77 communes of Benin.

2023 Beninese Parliamentary Election
Parliamentary elections were held in Benin on 8 January 2023 to elect all 109 members of the National Assembly. The preliminary results of the election were announced on 11 January. Background The 2016 presidential election was won by Patrice Talon, with the country then widely seen as an example of democracy on the African continent. However, the 2019 parliamentary elections led to a major crisis. Only two parties, both of which supported Talon, were allowed to compete (the Progressive Union and the Republican Bloc), with opposition lists failing validation after the implementation of a more restrictive electoral code by the government. The opposition, civil society and NGOs such as Amnesty International denounced what they considered to be an authoritarian drift by the government, damaging the country's democratic reputation. The conduct of the parliamentary elections was criticised, including the government cutting off access to the internet and social networks during the ...
