Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Benin on 12 April 2026, with a potential runoff to be held within 15 days if no candidate secures an absolute majority. This market will resolve to the individual who is formally declared elected as President of Benin following the 2026 presidential election. To count for resolution, the individual must be formally elected as President of Benin following the 2026 presidential election. Any acting, interim, or caretaker President will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such President is elected by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of Benin and the relevant electoral authorities of Benin, including the Autonomous National Electoral Commission (https://www.cena.bj/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

President Patrice Talon's announcement that he will not seek a third term in Benin's 2026 presidential election has solidified Romuald Wadagni, his economy and finance minister, as the frontrunner with 88% trader consensus on Polymarket. Wadagni benefits from strong ruling party backing, incumbency advantages, and recent polls showing him leading comfortably amid opposition fragmentation. Paul Hounkpè, a key opposition figure and former National Assembly president, holds 10.5% implied probability, reflecting challenges from past boycotts and limited unified support. Recent legislative changes easing candidacy rules and Wadagni's high-profile economic reforms have further boosted sentiment toward continuity under his leadership, though election dynamics remain fluid ahead of candidate filings.
