PLP unseats FNM in Bahamas General Election | Loop Cayman Islands - Loop News Cayman

Phillip “Brave” Davis will be the fifth Prime Minister of The Bahamas as his Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) is projected to win today’s General Election.

Outgoing Prime Minister Hubert Minnis conceded defeat in a phone call to Brave shortly after 9 pm.

In a statement to the media after his concession, Minnis said: “I would like to thank the tens of thousands of Bahamians from across The Bahamas who voted for Free National Movement candidates. I also congratulate the FNM candidates who won seats in the House of Assembly.”

“Our party presented its vision for the future to Bahamians from the northern islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco, all the way to the southern islands of MICAL. The people determined that they preferred the Progressive Liberal Party. My party and I accept that result. We are proud of our record the past four-plus years.”

Minnis, who was re-elected to the Killarney seat for a fourth successive time, said he will return to the house of assembly to lead the opposition.
