Presidential elections were held in Benin on 4 March 2001, with a second round run-off on 18 March. They controversially resulted in the re-election of Mathieu Kérékou for a second term. Kérékou's rival Nicéphore Soglo, who had been president from 1991 to 1996, failed in his bid to reclaim the presidency; although he qualified to participate in the second round of the election against Kérékou, he refused to do so, alleging electoral fraud. Adrien Houngbédji, the parliament speaker and third-placed candidate, also refused to participate in a second round. As a result, Kérékou faced fourth-place candidate Bruno Amoussou, who was planning minister and had already given his support to Kérékou, in the second round; Kérékou won an easy victory with 84% of the vote.

  • Las elecciones presidenciales se llevaron a cabo en Benín el 4 de marzo de 2001, con una segunda vuelta el 18 de marzo, resultando en una histórica y controvertida reelección para Mathieu Kérékou, el antiguo dirigente comunista y posterior presidente socialista democrático elegido en 1996. Debido a que tanto Kérékou como su principal detractor y rival, Nicéphore Soglo, cumplieron setenta años antes de las siguientes elecciones, quedaron inhabilitados para volver a presentarse a la presidencia, poniendo fin a la tensión política entre ambos en la década de 1990.

  • L'élection présidentielle béninoise de 2001 a lieu le 4 mars 2001 avec un second tour le 18 mars 2001 afin d'élire le Président de la République du Bénin. Elle voit la réélection du président sortant Mathieu Kérékou pour un second mandat consécutif. Kérékou affronte par conséquent le candidat arrivé en quatrième place, Bruno Amoussou, qui était alors Ministre d'État chargé de la planification et du développement prospectif, et qui avait déjà apporté son soutien à Kérékou pour le second tour. Kérékou remporte ainsi aisément la victoire, réunissant près de 84 % des voix. (fr)
