No. LDS here stands for Linyon Demokratik Seselwa (Seychellois Democratic Alliance) — a political party unrelated to the religious organization of the same abbreviation. We are a political movement focused on democratic governance, transparency, and the welfare of the Seychellois people.

This slogan reflects our core commitment to equality, inclusion, and national unity. It means ensuring every Seychellois has a fair stake in the country's future, regardless of their background, political affiliation, economic status, or social position. We believe in creating opportunities for all citizens to thrive and contribute to our nation's development.
