Forces Cauris pour un Bénin Emergent (FCBE)

Forces Cauris pour un Bénin Emergent (FCBE) is a political party in Benin. Currently, they are newsworthy because their candidate, Paul Hounkpè, is competing in the upcoming presidential election. Hounkpè is described as representing a moderate opposition. The election is significant as the outcome could potentially reshape Benin's relationship with neighboring Niger, which has been strained since the coup in Niger. The election is also important to the Beninese population, who are awaiting the reopening of the border between the two countries. Despite being a major opposition party, the FCBE is reportedly entering the election without the full support of the opposition.
