The national flag of Seychelles (drapeau national des Seychelles) was adopted on 8 January 1996.[2] The current flag is the third used by the country since its independence from the United Kingdom on 29 June 1976.[3] The colours used in the current flag are the official colours of two of the country's major political parties: the Seychelles People's United Party and the Seychelles Democratic Party.
