Voters in Seychelles are starting to cast their ballots in the presidential and national assembly elections.
It comes at a crucial time for the nation of 115 islands off East Africa, Voters will decide if President Danny Faure will be elected for the first time after taking over from predecessor James Michel, who resigned.
His People's Party, which has been in power since 1977 also faces an unprecedented challenge
The vote will run across three days across the islands.
Faure is facing two rivals. The main one is Wavel Ramkalawan of the Linyon Democratik Seselwa (Seychelles Democratic Alliance) opposition party, the majority party in parliament after winning 19 of 34 seats in the last election.
He is an Anglican priest and has run for president six times
But the opposition parties have not managed to unite in this election.
The other candidate is Alain St Ange, who was in the opposition before joining the government tourism minister.
He is running for the One Seychelles party which he created a year ago.
The main concern for the voters is the economy, which has slowed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
About 700 people have lost their jobs, according to government figures. The idyllic islands famed for their white beaches are a hub for tourism, particularly with those on their honeymoon.
But the coronavirus pandemic has closed borders, hampering the key tourism industry.
Another key theme of the campaign has been corruption, a largely taboo topic in the tiny country where everyone knows everyone and business and politics are often intertwined.
The Seychelles is classed by Transparency International as being perceived as the least corrupt country in Africa and among the 30 least corrupt in the world.
However it is also a tax paradise housing numerous offshore companies.

Applying and experimenting with makeup can be a fun and creative experience but for people of diverse ethnicities, it can be disheartening.
For years they have raised concerns about the lack of beauty products for darker skin.
One Zimbabwean born make up artist in Australia is now inspiring younger women to speak out,
\"I think unfortunately often, we are only seeing one shade, or one race being represented all the time,\" said make-up artist Rumbidzai Mudzengi.
\"A lot of the time, it starts to feel like there's no place for us, and I want young people to realise that there is a space for you,\"
\"If you're going to serve someone, you need to do it all the way and you need to cater for everyone, it's really that simple, that's why you get into business.\"
The women say a common problem is with big brand retailers, who mostly cater to light and medium skin tones.
\"Sometimes it's just harder to find the right place that sells the right foundation and stuff for my skin,\"said ons young woman. Another said it \"added to the feeling of being isolated, a bit I guess unwelcome to some degree. The fact that I had to go to special stores just to find my shade, it was a bit of an inconvenience for me.\"
It means they often have to do more research on the products and go to specialised shops
but new brands have recently emerged such as Fenty, by the singer Rihanna.
Other well-established brands such as Mac and Make Up For Ever are also developing new ranges for all skin tones.
But there is still a long road to go.
While make up retailers in many cities say they offer a wide variety of products.
In practice, some young women with dark skin say they have had to go to specialized shops which are often more expensive.
