In 1976, Seychelles gained independence from the United Kingdom and became a republic. It has since become a member of the Commonwealth.[21] In the 1970s Seychelles was "the place to be seen, a playground for film stars and the international jet set".[22] In 1977, a coup d'état by France Albert René ousted the first president of the republic, James Mancham.[23] René discouraged over-dependence on tourism and declared that he wanted "to keep Seychelles for the Seychellois".[22]

The 1979 constitution declared a socialist one-party state, which lasted until 1991.[24]

In the 1980s there were a series of coup attempts against President René, some of which were supported by South Africa. In 1981, Mike Hoare led a team of 43 South African mercenaries masquerading as holidaying rugby players in the 1981 Seychelles coup d'état attempt.[22] There was a gun battle at the airport, and most of the mercenaries later escaped in a hijacked Air India plane.[22] The leader of this hijacking was German mercenary D. Clodo, a former member of the Rhodesian SAS.[25] Clodo later stood trial in South Africa (where he was acquitted) as well as in his home country Germany for air piracy.[26]

In 1986, an attempted coup led by the Seychelles Minister of Defence, Ogilvy Berlouis, caused President René to request assistance from India. In Operation Flowers are Blooming, the Indian naval vessel Vindhyagiri arrived in Port Victoria to help avert the coup.[27]

The first draft of a new constitution failed to receive the requisite 60% of voters in 1992, but an amended version was approved in 1993.[28]

In January 2013, Seychelles declared a state of emergency when the tropical cyclone Felleng caused torrential rain, and flooding and landslides destroyed hundreds of houses.[29][30]

Following the coup in 1977, the president always represented the same political party until the October 2020 Seychellois general election, which was historic in that the opposition party won. Wavel Ramkalawan was the first president who did not represent United Seychelles (the current name of the former Seychelles People's Progressive Front).[31][32]

In January 2023, the Seychelles announced its final stages of completing its marine spatial plan. It would become the second largest ocean area at 1.35 million sq kms (521,000 sq. mi.) behind Norway, in support of its blue economy.
