Guy Mitokpè

Guy Mitokpè is a former prominent figure and spokesperson for the opposition party Les Démocrates in Benin. He is now newsworthy due to his recent and significant political shift. Mitokpè, along with other key figures like Éric Houndété, has defected from Les Démocrates and joined the campaign of Romuald Wadagni, the candidate representing the ruling party, in the upcoming presidential election. This move is considered a surprising development, especially given Mitokpè's previous role as a vocal critic of the current Talon regime. His defection, along with others, highlights the internal turmoil and instability within Les Démocrates leading up to the election, making him a relevant figure in the current Beninese political landscape.
