Elections In Seychelles
Seychelles elects on national level a head of state—the President (government title), president—and a legislature. The president is elected for a five-year term by the people. The National Assembly of Seychelles, National Assembly/Assemblée Nationale has 34 members elected for terms of five years, 25 members elected in single-seat constituency, constituencies and 9 members elected by proportional representation. Seychelles has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anyone to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party.
