General elections were held in Seychelles on 22–24 October 2020 to elect the President and members of the National Assembly.[1] The National Assembly elections had been due in 2021,[2] but in July 2020 were brought forward by President Danny Faure in order to hold them together with the presidential elections, a proposal supported by opposition parties.[3][4]
The presidential elections were won by Wavel Ramkalawan of the Linyon Demokratik Seselwa (LDS), with the LDS also increasing its majority in the National Assembly, winning 25 of the 35 seats.
In this election, the first Hindu member of the Seychelles National Assembly, Satya Naidu, was elected.[5]
