The Jj Spirit Foundation regrets to inform its members as well as the public in general, that its popular SESEL I ANNAN TALAN final show will not be aired live on SBC television tomorrow Saturday 14th May. It will therefore not be possible for public voting for the contestants to take place.
The Foundation was informed today by the SBC that the Office of the Electoral Commissioner and its Electoral Advisory Board had resolved that in “view of the prevailing election process the show should not be broadcasted live on television” and had instructed SBC to stop the broadcast.
The Jj Spirit Foundation expresses its profound disappointment with the Electoral Commissioner’s decision as it comes one day before the show, which did not give ample time for the Foundation to organize alternative arrangements. The decision of the Electoral Commissioner came after the Seychelles National Party SNP lodged an objection.
The show cannot be postponed at this short notice due to the costs incurred for production of the event. This year’s SESEL I ANNAN TALAN is raising funds for a youth who was involved in road accident in January. The money raised will be used to fund his medical treatment abroad, and he is expected to leave for treatment in May.
