“No electoral violence in Seychelles”

AFROL NEWS

The main opposition leader in Seychelles says he is confident that, if President James Michel loses the upcoming elections, he will peacefully stand down.

Wavel Ramkalawan, leader of the island nation’s main opposition party, the Seychelles National Party (SNP), in an interview with afrol News says he is confident to win the 19-21 May presidential elections in Seychelles and to be peacefully inaugurated as the nation’s fourth President.

A former Anglican priest, Mr Ramkalawan came close to winning the last elections in Seychelles, with 46 percent of the vote. This, he explains, was achieved despite strongly unfair conditions strongly favouring incumbent President Michel.

Mr Ramkalawan was among the activists fighting for a return to multi-party democracy from the dictatorship of President Albert Rene, crowned with victory in 1993.
