This week, Seychelles goes to the polls. 🇸🇨 The Presidential & National Assembly elections run from Thu. 25th to Sat. 27th September 2025. In the second televised presidential debate held on 19 September (hosted by @sbc.sc), presidential candidate Charles De Clarisse mentions @vic_duthil + @move_with_lucie. It’s humbling that filing our constitutional petition got a mention, it means this issue is now part of the national conversation. 🌱 The development on Assomption is about much more than a luxury hotel for tourists. During the debate, the different presidential candidates - Alain de Saint-Ange, Charles De Clarisse, Kisna Louise, Maarco Francis, Patrick Herminie, Ralph Volcère and Robert Moumou - connected Assomption to broader issues: 🌍 Seychelles’ sovereignty ⚖️ Respecting the country’s laws and processes 🏝️ Unsustainable developments across the islands 🗺️ Competing visions for the future of Seychelles 💚 The importance of protecting our environment, the very heart of the Seychellois community ⚔️ Even the military risks this project could bring These conversations matter because Assomption is not just about one island, it’s about the future of Seychelles and how we safeguard what makes it wild, beautiful, and ours. 📝 The original statements are in Kreol.
