Queues at Au Cap on election day
The 2020 general elections, held between October 22-24, saw a lot of firsts for the country. Never in our country’s brief history had a disease put a halt on the economy and hindered our ‘normal’ way of life, forcing us to put on our masks, maintain physical distance and sanitising our hands as we trudged to the voting booths.
But perhaps the most significant first was the majority endorsement of opposition party,
Linyon Demokratik Seselwa (LDS) who claimed victory in both the parliamentary and presidential elections.
On the morning of October 25, the results were categorical: 20 elected seats for LDS and six for United Seychelles (US), and Wavel Ramkalawan was heading to the State House with 54.9% of votes.
