Presidential candidate of the One Seychelles political party, Alain St. Ange is fully focused as the presidential elections of the island nation approaches.
The Seychelles Presidential election dates have been set for 22nd – 24th October 2020, and the line has officially been drawn in the sand, with all candidates and political parties are readying themselves for the upcoming day of decision.
While some have been campaigning and garnering momentum for the past two years, others have coasted, only stirring to meet with the electorate they have been neglecting for the past four years when absolutely necessary.
Their old flags are being dusted off, and they are spreading their stickers and custom tshirts around the districts faster than the common cold.
Voters have expressed their dissatisfaction with the policies and ideologies of the LDS and US camps, as gleaned from their statements shared via social media; they have drawn the unpalatable conclusion that US’s position and vision for the next five years are, in a nutshell, to maintain the current state of affairs and change little to nothing in terms of how the Country is being run, and LDS’s hook, in contrast, seems to be: we are not Danny Faure.
The complacency and arrogance of rival camps are their weakness; they do not feel the need to try hard because a sense of entitlement has plagued their politicians and staunch followers for decades – they believe the support of the public is somehow owed to them because they have been in the race since Jesus was a little boy.
Meanwhile, the momentum on Praslin is building rapidly for supporters of ONE SEYCHELLES. Week by week, day by day, more and more individuals are pledging their support to our common cause.
Large clusters from both red and green camps are coming forwards to join the movement for real change, and are working alongside our two Parliamentary candidates (soon to be named) for Praslin to appeal to other swing voters.
One Praslinois in particular, namely Mr. Bernard Port-Louis, stated the following in regards to his support for ONE SEYCHELLES: “There comes a point in your life when you just know the time is right for a change, and that you owe it to your Country and to your fellow Seychellois to bring about that change.
The Country is politically and economically unstable, and is all but falling apart at the seams.
A strong leader is desperately needed to unite the Nation and to save our economy. We did not have a viable candidate suited for this momentous task until Alain St. Ange stepped onto the scene.
“His vision is so different from that of the other politicians: he truly wants to give young people a voice, and to ensure that everyone has access to the opportunities that have been typically reserved for only a select few.
His plans for a technocrat-led government, comprising of skilled and capable youth, are exactly the type of innovative strategies our Nation needs right now. He is a technocrat himself, an undisputed expert in the field of tourism, and no one understands the industry quite like him – only he can save our tourism industry, and every rational-minded person in Seychelles can admit to that.”
He has the best interests of Seychellois at heart, recognizing that we have traditionally been treated as second-class citizens in our own Country. He is not afraid to touch on sore topics for LDS and US, such as IDC and the legalization of marijuana.
He is a strong and capable leader, and we are fortunate to have him in the race for the 2020 Presidential election.
We at One Seychelles see it, and Praslinois are seeing it too. Once the blinkers come off and more Seychellois start to think critically about the other politicians who have had their chance to fight for Seychellois and have failed, then the Country will truly be ready for real change.”
