COI UNVEILS FIRST 100 DAYS PLAN, PROMISING SWEEPING CHANGE AND BREAK FROM MAINSTREAM POLITICS

NASSAU, Bahamas — The Coalition of Independents has rolled out its First 100 Days Plan, positioning it as a roadmap for rapid national transformation and a clear break from what it describes as the failures of the country’s two dominant political parties.

Leader Lincoln Bain introduced the plan during a recent public presentation, outlining a series of early actions his party says would be implemented immediately upon taking office.

At the heart of the proposal is a push to redistribute access to Crown land, a signature policy of the Coalition, which argues that Bahamians should have greater direct benefit from national resources. The plan also prioritizes the full implementation of Freedom of Information legislation, with Bain framing transparency as a cornerstone of restoring trust in government.

Additional focus areas include proposed reforms to the healthcare system, including improved compensation for nurses and medical professionals, and broader governance changes aimed at increasing accountability and reducing political control over national decision-making.

The Coalition has branded the plan as a historic first, describing itself as the only political group to present a structured 100-day agenda ahead of a general election.

But beyond the policy points, the messaging was unmistakable.

Bain and his team continue to urge Bahamians to move away from the traditional two-party system, arguing that both the Progressive Liberal Party and the Free National Movement have failed to deliver meaningful change despite decades of governance.

“The system is not working for the people,” has been a consistent refrain from the Coalition, which is campaigning on the idea of resetting how the country is governed.

While supporters view the 100-day plan as a bold and necessary shift, questions remain about the level of detail provided, particularly around costing, timelines, and how proposed changes would be executed within the existing structure of government.

Still, the rollout signals that the Coalition of Independents is seeking to position itself not just as an alternative voice, but as a ready governing option — one promising immediate action and systemic reform.

With election momentum building, the emergence of a defined 100-day agenda adds a new dimension to the political landscape, as Bahamians weigh competing visions for the country’s future.
