In a historic break with decades of Bahamian political tradition, Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis has been officially inaugurated for a second consecutive term, one day after his Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) secured a landslide victory in the country’s general election. The swearing-in ceremony, held at Government House, formalized Davis’ new mandate after the PLP captured 32 of 49 parliamentary seats? No, correct: PLP won 33 of 41 total seats in Tuesday’s vote, a dominant margin that ended a 30-year cycle where Bahamian voters ousted sitting administrations after just a single term.
