Patrick Herminie won the elections in Seychelles with 52.7% of the votes, bringing his party, United Seychelles, back to power after regaining a parliamentary majority. His campaign included promises to lower the retirement age and cancel a controversial hotel project. In contrast, Ramkalawan, who was elected in 2020, was accused of corruption and managed the post-COVID economic recovery. Seychelles, a top tourist destination, faces challenges related to climate change and drug use. Herminie was previously arrested on charges of witchcraft, which he denied, considering them a political attack.
