Minnis: A man who persevered
Despite being ousted as leader of the Official Opposition last year, facing two leadership challenges and constant criticism on his ability to lead, Free National Movement (FNM) Dr. Hubert Minnis will become the next prime minister of The Bahamas.
After he voted at St. Paul's Catholic Church Hall at Lyford Cay yesterday morning, Minnis expressed his confidence in the FNM's ability to win, due to i...

Damian Gomez hung out to dry by PLP
Dear Editor,
By all accounts, Central and South Eleuthera MP Damian Gomez is one of the top attorneys in The Bahamas, and perhaps even in the region.

I say that because fellow Rebel Seven MP Dr. Andre Rollins raised the issue of Minnis being chronically absent from the House. Prime Minister Perry Christie also harped on the matter, in order to gain political b...
