Seychelles President Seeks Second Term, Citing Economic Recovery

The president of Seychelles has officially launched his campaign for reelection, highlighting the country’s economic rebound as the central theme of his bid.

In a speech to supporters, he pointed to recent progress in tourism, fisheries, and financial stability as proof that his administration has steered the island nation through difficult times. Seychelles, which relies heavily on international visitors, faced sharp economic challenges in recent years but has since seen steady growth.

The president pledged to build on this recovery by creating more jobs, strengthening social programs, and expanding infrastructure investments. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining political stability as the country continues to recover from external shocks.

Observers say the campaign will be closely watched, as economic performance and governance remain key issues for voters in the upcoming election.
