Patrick Herminie
Patrick Herminie (born 22 September 1963) is the President of the Republic of Seychelles since October 2025.
He served as the Speaker of the National Assembly of Seychelles from 2007 to 2016. He was first elected to the Assembly in 1993 and served as the Leader of Government Business from 1998 to 2003. A former member of the People's Party, Herminie ran in the 2025 presidential election as the candidate for United Seychelles (US).
Following the opposition's victory in the September 2016 parliamentary election, Patrick Pillay was elected as Speaker of the National Assembly, succeeding Patrick Herminie on 27 September 2016.
In October 2023, Patrick Herminie, who leads the United Seychelles party and plans to stand as a candidate in the 2025 presidential election, was charged with witchcraft by the Seychellois public prosecutor. He denied the charges, describing them as politically motivated. In February 2024, the Victoria public prosecutor's office dropped all accusations against him.
Patrick Herminie was born on 22 September 1963 at Baie St. Anne Praslin Hospital, on Seychelles' second-largest island. He was the fourth of five children in a family where his mother, Christa Herminie (née Jules), was a housewife, and his father, Louis Herminie, worked as a policeman.
A few years after Patrick was born, his parents, who had been living on Praslin due to his father's work posting, moved back to Mahé, the mainland of Seychelles. There, they settled and raised their five children. During this time, Patrick's father continued working as a policeman, while his mother, a former seamstress, stayed at home to care for the family.
As a young boy, Herminie attended Seychelles College, an all-boys' school established in 1947. At the time, Seychelles College, along with Regina Mundi Convent for girls, was regarded as a cornerstone of modern education in Seychelles. Both schools were closed in the early 1980s when the government introduced free and compulsory education, requiring children to attend schools within their respective districts.
While at Seychelles College, Herminie served as the captain of the Schalke 04 youth football team, leading them in various competitions.
