The Seychelles National Party (SNP) has announced that it is proceeding with a rotation of one of its proportionally elected members of the National Assembly.

As from Thursday's sitting of the National Assembly, Mrs Annette Georges will replace Mrs Ebrona Brioche, a communiqué from the SNP secretariat said on Wednesday February 25.

The communiqué said that following the recommendation of the executive committee of the party in December, 2003 to propose party leader, Wavel Ramkalawan, as presidential candidate at the next  Presidential Elections,  Mr Ramkalawan had designated Mrs Georges as his vice-presidential candidate.  Both proposals will be put to the next party convention for endorsement.

"In line with the foregoing proposals, the party leader, Mr Ramkalawan, has decided that Mrs Georges be given further opportunity to participate in the national political life in order that the party members can make a proper assessment of her abilities in the run-up to the 2004 convention," the communiqué said.

The communiqué added that the party leader and the executive committee "appreciate and commend the excellent contribution that Mrs Brioche has made in the Assembly during the past year". 

Mrs Brioche will take up new responsibilities at the party headquarters.
