Victor Benoit was the leader of Konakom — the Congrès National des Mouvements Démocratiques — and one of the central figures of the post-Duvalier democratic coalition during the 1987 electoral period.
He is documented in wilentz-rainy-season-ch-notes as a senatorial candidate for the Unity Front (Front de Concertation) in the Artibonite, part of the same broad democratic coalition that nominated gerard-gourgue for the presidency.
