 Seychelles President Ramkalawan pledges 'dignified' transfer of power after election defeat


President Wavel Ramkalawan has pledged to ensure an “orderly and dignified” transfer of power to Seychelles’ president-elect, Patrick Herminie, following the conclusion of the 2025 presidential run-off elections, TRT Afrika reported.


Ramkalawan and Herminie met informally at State House on Monday to discuss the transition process and exchange views on key national issues, including security, economic stability, and the importance of maintaining peace during the handover.


In a joint commitment, both leaders reaffirmed their dedication to safeguarding Seychelles’ unity, peace, and democratic tradition as the island nation enters a new political chapter.


Herminie, leader of the opposition, was declared winner of Saturday’s presidential run-off by the country’s electoral commission, becoming Seychelles’ sixth president.


‘Maintaining legacy’


Ramkalawan congratulated his successor, expressing pride in his administration’s achievements.


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


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


The first multi-party election was held in 1993 after the adoption of a new constitution.


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, pointing to the some of the challenges before the incoming leader.


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.
