Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa attended the October 26, 2025, inauguration of Seychelles President Patrick Herminie at Umoja Stadium in Victoria. Majaliwa represented President Samia Suluhu Hassan at the ceremony alongside senior officials from India, China, Mauritius and Comoros.
Herminie secured 52.7 percent of the votes cast in the October 11 runoff election against Wavel Ramkalawan, who received 47.3 percent. The September 27 first-round ballot produced no winner among six candidates, as none exceeded 50 percent. Herminie took the presidential oath before Chief Justice Rony Govinden after his United Seychelles Party defeated the Linyon Demokratik Seselwa alliance that had won in 2020.
Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Cosato Chumi and Tanzanian Ambassador to Kenya Bernard Kibesse accompanied the prime minister to the swearing-in event.
