The governing party in The Bahamas has won a second consecutive term in general elections held on May 12, allowing Prime Minister Phillip Davis and the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) to become the first party in 30 years to win a consecutive five-year term.
Just before midnight, it had become clear that the spirited effort by the main opposition Free National Movement (FNM) to wrest power from the PLP had flamed out. Preliminary results are already showing that the PLP will win at least 32 of the 41 seats, almost repeating its parliamentary tally from the 2021 contest.
