Benin: the Liberal Party denies any link with 'Steve Woto'

The Liberal Party issued a statement on April 2, 2026, distancing itself from threats made by an individual named 'Steve Woto' against President Patrice Talon. The party rejects any connection to these statements and firmly condemns any form of threat. Richard Boni Ouorou, the party's president, has been in detention since May 2025 for corruption but remains active and supports Romuald Wadagni's candidacy for the presidential election on April 12, 2026.
