More than 20 new candidates have emerged on the political scene to contest seats in the next general election, with the formation of a new political organization.
The People's Deliverance Party (PDP) comes several weeks after the launch of the Democratic National Alliance, led by Bamboo Town MP Branville McCartney.
The PDP is headed by political aspirant and attorney Paul Moss, who made the announcement yesterday during a press conference held at his office at Dominion House.
"We are not here to make a political statement like the other political parties have done.  We are here to help in the delivery of the Bahamian people from the malaise we find our country in, where unemployment is going on unabated.  We are going to make the necessary changes and enforce the laws," Moss explained, stating that is the difference between his party and the other political organizations.
Moss said the party is committed to fighting for the rights of the persons who cannot fight for themselves.  He has yet to reveal the names of the PDP candidates who will be seeking office, but he did reveal that the party plans to run a full slate of 41 candidates.
He charged that they are experienced individuals who have the interest of Bahamians in the forefront. He further charged that the organization is ready to govern the country.
Recently, the Bahamas Democratic Movement (BDM), which was headed by Cassius Stuart, joined the Free National Movement (FNM), the current governing party.
Additionally, the Workers Party headed by Rodney Moncur joined the Democratic National Alliance, headed by McCartney, who resigned from the FNM in March.
The National Development Party has joined the Progressive Liberal Party.
