Polls opened in Benin on Sunday in an election to replace President Thomas Boni Yayi who is stepping down after two terms, leaving 33 candidates to vie for power in the small West African nation.
Benin is country of 10,160,556 people and expected turnout of at least 75% is expected.
Benin produces cotton but its economy is flagging, in part because a fall in oil prices has hit its giant neighbour Nigeria.
A key choice facing voters is who best can create jobs and improve the education system of the country.
