Nassau, Bahamas - The following is a press statement by Free National Movement Party Chairman, Carl Bethel.

I wish to advise
the general public that the Central Council of the Free National Movement
voted

unanimously to hold the next National Convention of the
Party in 2011, at a date to be determined by the Party.  

The decision
is in accord with the Party's constitution which stipulates, by Article
49, that the National Convention must be held at least every two years.

The Party held
a successful convention last year which highlighted the many accomplishments
of the FNM in what, at the time, was approximately two and a half years
in office.  We will meet again next year with even more of our
trust agenda accomplished...
