ELECTION MAY 12
Parliament dissolves on April 8 as the nation prepares for a high-stakes, five-week sprint to the polls By RASHAD ROLLE Tribune News Editor rrolle@tribunemedia.net PRIME Minister Philip Davis yesterday announced that May 12 is the date for the next general election, a high-stakes contest that will test whether the Progressive Liberal Party can secure a rare second consecutive term and whether the Free National Movement can rebound from its 2021 defeat. In a statement, Mr Davis said he will advise the Governor General to dissolve Parliament on April 8, with writs of election to be issued the following day, formally launching the
campaign period. The timeline sets up a roughly five-week sprint to election day, in keeping with Bahamian practice. The vote will be the third and most significant electoral test of the Davis administration since it swept to power in September 2021, when the PLP won a decisive victory over the FNM, which was reduced to a small opposition presence after a single term in office. The PLP is seeking to become the first party since 1997 to win re-election as an incumbent. Mr Davis, in his ELECTION - SEE PAGE THREE

A fellow Board Member of Clover Leaf, a Colombian former US Ambassador to Bolivia, also living in Miami with US citizenship, was forced to resign after it was revealed he had been spying on the United States for 40 years for the Cuban government. He was later jailed for 15 years and fined $500,000. Yntegra is now only a ‘minority, passive investor’ with ‘no decision-making role’ in Cave Cay, one of two massive resort projects in The Exumas for which it was granted a lucrative Heads of Agreement by the government.
