A pivotal by-election in the Golden Isles constituency is scheduled for November 24, following the passing of former representative Vaughn Miller. The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has announced Darron Pickstock as its candidate, while the Free National Movement (FNM) has put forward Brian Brown for the upcoming general election. Although the FNM has yet to confirm its participation in the by-election, Brown remains their designated candidate if they choose to compete. Additionally, the Coalition of Independents has selected Brian Rolle as its representative. Wayne Munroe, the Minister overseeing the Parliamentary Registration Department, confirmed the election notice during a recent House of Assembly session. Parliamentary Commissioner Harrison Thompson stated that the electoral process is now in motion following the Governor-General’s issuance of the writ, in line with constitutional procedures. Nomination day is set for October 31, with registrations and transfers for the constituency now closed. Golden Isles, a significant swing seat and one of the nation’s largest constituencies, will serve as a critical barometer for the Davis administration’s popularity as its term approaches its conclusion.
