With the FNM securing the major portion of the electoral pie, the DNA is still expressing confidence in bringing the change its supporters hope to see in Bahamas one day. Following the results last night, the DNA took to its Facebook page together with many of its candidates, to thanks its supporters for their votes and support during the campaign. Its official page read “Fighting for what you believe in is never wrong. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to all of you who voted #forabetterlife. May God Bless the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, the new incoming Government of The Bahamas, and all of our people”.

Its Killarney Candidate, Arinthia Komolafe, who lost to Prime Minister Elect, Dr.Hubert Minnis, counted it a privilege in running against Minnis, and extended heartfelt congrats to him and his party. She says her work within the Constituency will continue, as she intends to implement the plans that laid out in her platform.

DNA Candidate for Garden Hills, Youri Kemp

Youri Kemp, candidate for Garden Hills also thanked voters who supported him and campaigned along his side this year. Kemp urged residents to trust in God at this time, as he has allowed the people to see what they needed to see for them to cast their vote for who they wanted to govern our country. In response to the DNA’s numbers, Kemp says “Massive election losses like this are nothing to do with regard to the quality or calibre of persons of anyone who did not win, but it had to do with glaring factors that the Bahamian people saw fit to deal with as a priority for them at this time”.

Golden Isles Candidate, Stephen Greenslade called on the people to focus on moving our country forward by positively contributing in whatever small way to that effort, as we must work together as a nation to reach higher heights.
