Ua eo ʻo Seychelles i kēia pule he kālaiʻāina kūpuna e hala. ʻO Rifned Jumeau, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka pāʻina politika mua ma Seychelles i make ma Pepeluali 7 a ua kanu ʻia i kēia ʻauinalā ma ke alo o ka ʻohana a me nā hoa aloha ma kāna wahi koho balota o Mont Fleuri ma ka mokupuni ʻo Mahe.

He kolone Pelekane ʻo Seychelles i ka manawa i hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Rifned Jumeau lāua ʻo Harry Payet i ka makahiki 1963 i kāna SIUP (Seychelles Islanders United Party). Ua hoʻoholo paʻa ʻo ia e hakakā no nā pono o nā limahana i ke au i ka manawa a ka lehulehu i ʻoliʻoli ʻole ai i ke kuleana koho balota a i ka wā a ke kiaʻāina Pelekane e koho nei i kekahi ʻāpana o nā lālā o ka ʻAha ʻAhaʻōlelo.

I ka 1964 ua hui ʻo Rifned Jumeau i kāna pāʻina politika me Albert Rene a lilo ia i Seychelles People's United Party (SPUP). Ua koho ʻia ʻo Rifned Jumeau i ka makahiki 1969 no ka Hale Pule ʻo Mont Fleuri no nā koho balota no ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā ʻo Victoria, ma mua o ke koho ʻia ʻana i ka makahiki 1970 no ka ʻĀpana Koho ʻIo o Victoria Hema ma ke ʻano he lālā o ka Hale ʻAhaʻōlelo.

Ua ʻike ʻo ia iā Seychelles e neʻe mai kahi kolone Pelekane a lilo i Aupuni Kūʻokoʻa i 1976, a noho ma waena o Seychelles ma lalo o kāna 1st, 2nd a me 3 Republic Republic era.

ʻO kahi mea kālaiʻāina i kū i waho no ka mea ʻaʻole pono iā ia ka politika e waiwai iā ia iho, akā e hana i kahi Seychelles ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Ua uku kālā ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana politika a hana i nā ʻoihana e kōkua i ke kālā ʻana i ka pāʻina politika i pili pū ʻia me ia.

Rifned Jumeau, the founder of the first political party in Seychelles died on February 7 and was buried this afternoon in the presence of family and friends at his former electoral district of Mont Fleuri on the island of Mahe.
He was determined to fight for workers rights in an era when the mass did not even enjoy the right to vote and when the British Governor was still nominating part of the Legislative Councils Members.
He was a mobilizer and organised the longest protest march ever staged in Seychelles from Anse Aux Pins to Victoria to bring out the cost of living in Seychelles.
