“Today the people have spoken. Today the people made their choice. The people have said that they wish that I continue on the path that I have commenced...for me to continue to lead Seychelles forward in stability, peace, and prosperity... I would like to thank all my supporters from Parti Lepep from the bottom of my heart for their support. At this point in time, it is necessary, more than ever, that we continue to create more unity in our country. Today more than ever we need to work together as Seychellois, we need to ensure we bring our people together, because after all we are Seychellois... The President that has been elected is the President of all Seychellois and we all need to work together for our Seychelles. ”
