General elections were held in Seychelles on 27 September 2025 to elect a president and members of the National Assembly,[1] with a second round currently being held from 9 to 11 October for the presidential race after no candidate won a majority in the first round.
Electoral system
The president of Seychelles is elected using the two-round system;[2] if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round is held between the top two candidates.
Members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods; 26 (with a new constituency established in 2020) are elected from single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting, and up to a further ten are elected based on the percentage of votes received by each party; for each 10% of the total national vote received, a party gets one additional seat.[3][4]

Campaign
Herminie and his United Seychelles party pledged to revert the retirement age down to 63, reduce bus fares by 40% and increase social security benefits. Ralph Volcère pledged to decriminalize recreational cannabis as part of efforts to reduce the rate of drug addiction and put drug lords out of business.[7]
Conduct
Early voting for elderly and essential workers was held on 25 September.[8] More than 77,000 people were eligible to vote.[9] For the second round, voting was held for outlying islands and some essential workers on 9 October, while voting in the country’s three main islands is scheduled for 11 October.[10]
Results
President
Patrick Herminie placed first with 48.8% of the vote, followed by Wavel Ramkalawan with 46.4%. Since no candidate won a majority of the vote in the first round, the election will proceed to a runoff between Herminie and Ramkalawan on 9 to 11 October 2025.[11]
