The Prime Minister of Benin, Lionel Zinsou, has come out unscathed following the crash landing of the helicopter in which he was travelling.<\/p>\n

This is according to his daughter in a tweet who revealed the helicopter crashed in a stadium in Djougou in the country’s northwest region.\u00a0\"Capture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“My father is fine. There were no victims in the helicopter accident in Djougou,” Marie-Cecile Zinsou tweeted.<\/p>\n

It is as yet unclear why the helicopter carrying the Prime Minister \u00a0crash-landed in a stadium.<\/p>\n

“My father is fine. There were no victims in the helicopter accident in Djougou,” Marie-Cecile Zinsou tweeted.<\/p>\n

The helicopter crashed while landing at a stadium in the city of Djougou, a spokesman for Benin’s interior ministry, Leonce Houngbadji, told the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n

No-one in the helicopter was hurt, he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Zinsou, who was appointed prime minister of Benin in June,\u00a0has said he will contest for the Beninese presidency in February’s election as a candidate of the ruling Cowry Forces for an Emerging Benin (FCBE) party.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported earlier this month that\u00a0Mr Zinsou’s announcement put an end to speculation Benin’s current president, Thomas Boni Yayi, was seeking a third term.<\/p>\n
