Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis and his ruling Progressive Liberal Party have been re-elected following a snap election on Tuesday.
This victory marks the first time in nearly 30 years that a Bahamian leader has been elected to a second consecutive term. It is the first time in three decades that a political party in the country has secured back-to-back election wins.
Davis stated that he receives the verdict of the Bahamian people with humility and gratitude. He described the victory as a mandate to continue moving The Bahamas forward, expand opportunity, strengthen security, ease pressure on families, and deliver progress across the islands.
