built 622 days ago
The President of Seychelles is both the head of state and the head of government. The President is elected by popular vote for a five-year term, and appoints and presides over the cabinet as long as it meets the approval of a majority of the legislature. The National Assembly is the unicameral Seychellois parliament, consisting of 34 members who each serve five-year terms. Of these, 25 members are directly elected by popular vote and the 9 others are appointed proportionally due to the percentage of votes from each party. In the judicial branch, the president appoints both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court judges.

Fishing is another favourite pastime in the Seychelles. The seas off Cousin and Sainte Anne Marine National Park are off-limits to fishermen, but Grand Anse and Mahe offer good spots for fishing. Other popular watersports are sailing, windsurfing and paragliding at Mahe's Beau Vallon Bay.
