18JUN2018 - Holiday Today - Seychelles

Seychelles - National Day
National Day is annually observed on Seychelles on June 18. This holiday celebrates adoption of a multi-party democratic constitution in 1993.
Seychelles were granted independence in 1976 and became a republic within the Commonwealth. Since then Seychelles were a socialist one-party state. This political course lasted till 1991, when the government was forced to move to multi-party system. These changes became the basis for a new constitution. Its first draft failed to receive the requisite 60% of voters. An amendment was made, and a new constitution was approved in 1993.
