The Golden Isles constituency is set to witness a pivotal by-election on November 24, 2025, as confirmed by Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe. This announcement comes in the wake of Prime Minister Philip Davis’s recent declaration at the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) headquarters, where the party ratified 14 candidates for the upcoming general election. Notably, among these candidates are businessman Sebas Bastian and Senator Darron Pickstock, the latter of whom has been officially endorsed as the PLP’s representative for the Golden Isles seat. The Free National Movement (FNM) has also named Brian Brown as their candidate for the constituency. This by-election marks the second such event under the Davis administration, which assumed office in 2021. The first by-election occurred in West Grand Bahama and Bimini in 2023, following the untimely demise of MP Obie Wilchcombe. The upcoming vote is expected to be a significant political event, reflecting the ongoing dynamics within Bahamian politics.
