Presidential elections 2015 |27 November 2015

Candidates and representatives explain manifestos to civil societies

Candidates for the forthcoming presidential election, or their representatives, yesterday met civil society organisations for a special dialogue to discuss their plans/manifestos they are proposing to the people of Seychelles.

The meeting was held at the Citizens Engagement Platform Seychelles (Ceps) at Orion Mall. All parties taking part in the election were represented by either their candidate or representative and the session was moderated by bishops Denis Wiehe of the Roman Catholic Church and French Chang-Him of the Anglican Church.

All candidates and representatives talked on such main issues as the economy, tax, education, health, businesses, the media, just to name some. The presentations were followed by questions and answers.

The meeting forms part of Ceps’ active citizens engagement policy in the democratic process of Seychelles.

Both local and international observers were also present.
