 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

 Seychelles opposition candidate wins presidential runoff, incumbent leader concedes defeat


Seychelles' opposition leader Patrick Herminie has won the presidential run-off, electoral commission results showed on Sunday, after a race dominated by environmental and economic concerns.


The Indian Ocean archipelago nation has the highest wealth per capita in Africa – around $18,000 according to the World Bank – but is vulnerable to climate change.


Herminie pledged in his victory speech to lower the cost of living, revive public services, and unite the island nation.


"I will be the president of all Seychellois, and I will end divisions by ceasing preferences and giving everyone the opportunity to thrive," he said.


Ramkalawan concedes defeat


The vote headed to a run-off after Herminie and his main challenger, outgoing President Wavel Ramkalawan, failed last month to secure an outright majority of more than 50%.


Results released on Sunday showed Herminie secured 52.7% of the vote, while Ramkalawan garnered 47.3%.


The incumbent president, who led the opposition from 1998 to 2011 and again from 2015 to 2020, congratulated Herminie, who becomes Seychelles’ sixth president.


"I leave with a legacy that makes many presidents blush... I hope President Herminie continues to maintain such a level," Ramkalawan said.


President-elect's party wins more than half of parliamentary seats


Herminie's party United Seychelles, which has largely dominated the country's political scene since its independence in 1976, won 15 out of 26 seats in last month's parliamentary elections.


A physician by training, he previously headed the government's anti-drug agency and has vowed to tackle heroin addiction, blamed in part on the fact the islands sit on a drug trafficking route between Africa and Asia.


President-elect vows to cancel controversial Qatari deal


A bigger issue in the election has been the government's decision to lease a vast area of Assumption Island for 70 years for a Qatari-built luxury hotel with its own airstrip.


Assumption lies just 40 kilometres from Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage marine reserve, home to the world's largest tortoise and coconut crab populations.


Photos circulated on social media showing diggers on the beach and a tortoise with a broken shell, sparking outrage.


Herminie has vowed to cancel the 70-year lease and accused Qatar of financing the ruling party's campaign.


Climate change threat


On Wednesday, he said he had written to Qatari authorities urging them to respect the archipelago's sovereignty.


A French and then British colony, the Seychelles gained independence in 1976.


The archipelago is vulnerable to climate change and is facing rising sea levels, the deterioration of the marine ecosystem – particularly its coral reefs – as well as landslides, flooding and drought.


Three quarters of the country's roughly 120,000 citizens live on Mahe island, where the capital Victoria is located, according to 2024 World Bank data.
