Bahamas, May 16th 2017: Deputy leader Phillip Brave Davis will retain the post as Political Leader of PLP. His assumption of the role comes automatic according to the PLP’s constitution, following the resignation of Former Prime Minister and PLP Leader, Perry Christie.
His plans for the party, “to rebuild from the ground up”, after its defeat at the 2017 polls. Davis will hold the post until the convention decides who is best fit to lead the party, while his former role as Deputy Leader will also be decided by internal elections. His post as Political Leader of the PLP also makes way for him to become the Opposition Leader in the House of Assembly.
As to why the announcement on his new role not made, Davis says it was not his night, redirecting focus on outgoing PLP leader and Former Prime Minister, Perry Christie.
Davis says the PLP is yet to finalise its selection of senators. So far names that have been names listed include Dr.Kendal Major , Jobeth Coleby, Alfred Sears, and Dr.Charles Clarke. The four names which are not uncommon to The Bahamas, are said to represent new faces of the PLP, with broad appeal and a blend of experience.
