Patrick Herminie, leader of the United Seychelles party, emerged victorious in the Seychelles presidential election with 52.7% of the vote, defeating the incumbent Wavel Ramkalawan, who secured 47.3%. Herminie’s victory not only gave his party control of the presidency but also solidified its dominance in parliament. Having previously served as the speaker of parliament from 2007 to 2016, Herminie’s political experience and leadership played a significant role in his successful campaign and the subsequent consolidation of his party’s power.
