The main opposition party, United Seychelles, officially nominated Dr Patrick Herminie as its candidate for the 2025 presidential election at its 37th congress on Sunday.
He becomes the first candidate announced to enter the race for the presidential election due to be held on September 27, 2025, in Seychelles , an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean.
"We are working very hard and today I am very satisfied with the results that we obtained by going in front of the people, in Anse aux Pins, it was a huge success thanks to the work that we have done over the last three years," he said. After 43 years in power under various names, the United Seychelles party lost the presidential election for the first time in October 2020 and became the main opposition party.
"It is clear to me that the new political reality is a threat to our gains. The 13th month salary has been abolished, the seniority bonus has been abolished, even the bonuses for students returning from university have been cut, the price of public transport has increased, social assistance has been cut, but on the other hand taxes for the richest have been reduced," said Herminie.
