Eight candidates, two favorites in Seychelles elections

Seychelles' highly competitive elections are under way and two candidates out of the eight have captured the attention of voters. The first is current President Wavel Ramkalawan, who is seeking re-election after serving a first term focused on stabilising the economy, managing the COVID-19 crisis, as well as strengthening democratic institutions. Meanwhile, opposition leader Patrick Herminie, who has campaigned on a platform of unity, humility, and reform, aims to appeal to voters frustrated with the current administration. For many in Seychelles, this election represents the battle between continuity and transformation. Bonolo Maribe has more.
