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.
