The Constitution of Seychelles is the governing document of the Republic of Seychelles.

18 June, the anniversary of its ratification, is celebrated in Seychelles as "Constitution Day".[1][2]

History[edit]

Following a successful referendum on 26 March 1979, a new constitution for the country went into effect.[3] This constitution made Seychelles a one-party state with the sole candidate for president nominated by the ruling party.[4]

Towards the end of 1991, Seychelles began a process to become a multi-party democracy. Discussions and public debates between the major political parties (namely the Seychelles People's Progressive Front and Seychelles Democratic Party) began to take place in January 1993.[2] Following a referendum which took place on 18 June 1993, the current constitution of Seychelles was approved.[2]
