Mr. Frank Elizabeth was born and grew up in Mont Fleuri in 1967. He is 40 years old. He spent his pre-schooling years at the St. Elizabeth convent before moving on to Plaisance School where he did his primary and secondary school studies. In 1983 he attended the National Youth Service at Ste. Anne Island before moving on to Cap Ternay in 1984 where he completed his second year of service. In 1985 he went to the Seychelles Polytechnic where he spent three years in the department of Humanities. He completed his O levels in the same year before graduating in 1987 with three A levels in English, French and History. He won a British Council Scholarship in September 1988 and left Seychelles to study law at the University of North London. He graduated from the University in 1991 obtaining his law degree with honours (LLB Hons) in the same year. He studied for his Bar finals at Holborn College and was called to the Bar of England and Wales in November 1993. He is a member of Lincoln’s Inn, London, where he had to dine 21 times before becoming eligible to sit his bar finals examinations. He came to Seychelles in the same year and did his pupilage at the Attorney General’s Chambers under the stewardship of present Attorney General, Mr. Anthony Fernando. In 1995 he left Seychelles again to study at the Research Centre for International Law at Cambridge University. He subsequently went to Manhattan, New York where he worked as an intern at the United Nations in the Law of the Sea Department. He came back to Seychelles in 1996 and set up his own law practice. In April 2007 he was proportionally elected as Member of Parliament. However, his tenure did not last long as he was removed from Parliament by Wavel Ramkalawan, SNP leader, in July 2007 after the Seychelles National Party decided to cease their participation with the Seychelles Democratic Party in the National Assembly. Elizabeth immediately contested the removal before the Constitutional Courts and a Ruling is expected to be delivered on the 23rd September 2008. He is currently standing in the Mont Fleuri bye-election on behalf of the Seychelles Democratic Party after the elected member for that district, Mr. Jean Francois Ferrari, unexpectedly resigned.
