I extend congratulations to the Rt. Hon. Hubert Alexander Ingraham on his election as leader of the Free National Movement and to the Hon. Brent Symonette on his election to the position of Deputy Leader of the Party and also to all party officers who were successful in their bid to hold offices during the recent party election.

The Free National Movement ought to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to Senator, the Hon. Tommy Turnquest for his contributions to the party during his tenure as Leader. However, I believe that the Hon. Senator has some issues that he needs to deal with; in particular, the securing of his seat in the upcoming general election. The same is said for Mr. Dion Foulkes who also lost his seat in the May 2nd, 2002, elections.

I did not have a problem with Mr. Turnquest being leader of the Free National Movement or even Prime Minister of this country. However, once he was defeated in the general elections I couldn’t support him as leader because, when it comes to the role of political leadership, he hadn’t sufficiently proven his worth. He could not speak in the House of Assembly so he couldn’t properly represent/defend his constituents, his party or this country. Mr. Turnquest brought his political career to ruins when he didn’t do the honorable thing and resign as leader after he lost his seat in the last general elections.

We live in a democracy and the electorate has a right to take full advantage of the processes of freedoms that we cherish. They publicly demonstrated their desire to see the return of Hubert Ingraham. The people have spoken. FNM’s have responded to the will of the people. Mr. Ingraham has been returned as leader of the Free National Movement and the country now has, at the very least, a formidable opposition.

:dgi: Wasn't Mr Ingraham the leader of the FNM & Prime Minister up to the last election,With Tommy T being the LEADER Designate.So that being said how in the world could you say he Lost that election. "Boi I Tell Ya"...Can you say smoke & mirrors.

There is confusion about this matter when there should not be..Tommy Turnquest led the FNM into the 2002 general elections. After the defeat of the referendum, Hubert Ingraham said publicly that he had one more thing left to do, meaning lead the FNM election campaign. There were howls and screams and he was chased from the fore front.At the last minute he was brought back in a supporting role and made a couple of speeches. After the defeat, Mr. Tennyson Wells publicly said that Mr. Turnquet ran an amateurish campain so obviously he thought that Tooomy T was in charge. I dunno why Bahamainas do not pay attention to what we hear and to what we see. I guess it is laziness. Dems are the facts.

Tommy T was betrayed by his own people the sly fnm's
Ha ha ha ha ha ha the fnm will loose so get use to it stright second for Christe administration. christe did full fill however, i hear this and that, christe is not a thief , did not get bribes, and the administration is not mared with couurpt alligations like the past fnm.

no government is perfect and can stop the tides of mother Nature all of the acts of mother nature is controlled by God almighty the man diserive a second chance at least!

we going back to the same Ingraham that said and i quote "The Bahamian people are fools and stupid they have little or no scence at all" then he predicted his defeat "The one who win the referandom will win the election well at least he was right about that."

Bahamians i appeal to you all give Christe a second chance Ingraham will get all his pray that lay wait for him, its a vicious cicle!

Ingraham turned on his own and have broken his word more than i can count on my finger and toes. Not only tommy, but depuch, wells, Janet, allen and the entire Bahamas and the International community was left with a bitter tase for the Ingraham Administration. people think wisely the fnm is not stable at all, and i rather give the vote to the clear choice the PLP,

I did not say that the PLP hasnt done wrong But NOT as much as the fnm did. all governments are not to be trusted but in this case Christe is the right now, right choice for a stable Bahamas.

I agree with others who say this is the last of the fnm it will DISBAND altogeather thier finnished! distroyed whats left Tanya gone Z.Lang gone
me and my family gone to the PLP.

I look forward to the day the fnm party is disolved to nothing and another party reemerge than maybe, just mabe if the head stearing it is right I might catch a ride .

It is a matter of public record that the Hon Tommy Turnquest was the official leader of the FNM during the election of 2002. He was elected as such during an election that was stage at workers house in sept 2001. You would recall, as a result of said election Mr Algernon Allen and Mr Tennyson Wells were defeated and then cried sour grapes. As they would say the rest is history. Mr Hubert Ingraham remain as Prime Minister the remaining months leading up to the election. But for all intent and purpose Tommy Turnquest historically and as leader of the FNM had stand to gain if the FNM had won, and must assume the defeat having lost the election as leader of the FNM. That is the facts. I have no axe to grind with Hon Tommy Turnquest or The Right Honorable Hubert Ingraham.I am merely stating the facts. Plain and simple!

Chicko I beg to differ, Tommy T was never betrayed, what happen at the F.N.M convention was democracy at it's best, in a society where it works. The F.N.M'S had the right and the choice to choose whosoever the felt was more capable of leading their party. Tommy Turnquest was never assured that he would always be the leader. He may have been born in to the party, but that does not and never will give him or anyone else for that matter, the absolute right to be the only leader. In a democracy, the right to choose is one of it's most distinguished features. Let us not talk about about bribes and corruption, the P.L.P came to power on the backs of the poor man wielding the swords of help and hope. Regretfully the drop the sword and lost help and hope. (KOREAN BOAT SCANDEL, SIDNEY STUBBS, LESLIE MILLER, REGISTRA GENERAL, WESTERN AIR, RESIGINATION OF EDISON KEY, COMMISSION AFTER COMMISSION, THREE YEARS LATER NO HEALTH PLAN AS PROMISED IN 120 DAYS. Grand Bahama is at it's lowest point ever, unemployment 10.2 %. Give me a break. The dust that blinded our eyes in 2002 has now cleared.
Last night the Free National Movement publicly and unequivocally declared war on the P.L.P. Wherever every single member of the P.L.P Administration was last night, there were shaking in their boots. The F.N.M WILL NOT BE DISSOLVED, rather they have arisen from their ashes. The battle cry was clearly sounded last night. If the P.L.P believe that their record will speak for them, then, they have nothing to fear. In 1997 the F.N.M had nothing to fear. I can't say the same for the P.L.P. Yes I agree no government is perfect, But they should at least have the ability to govern. Thank God 2007 is almost here!!!!

The Fnm is finish but hey at lease your leader gave you all another plp as the first thing he stated was that he brough over another plp in Edison key wow he don't even believe in fnms

I agree the fnm is done

PLP al the way!

Edison Key, Ha! for every single white Bahamian there is a mob of 1 to 20 Black Bahamian Oh! rember they wanted to be brake away from the Bahamas the Abacos, the Abacos Asked the now Queen Elizabeth after inderpendence to split becuase they did not want to live with the "NEGROS!"


The Fnm is finish but hey at lease your leader gave you all another plp as the first thing he stated was that he brough over another plp in Edison key wow he don't even believe in fnms

From the way it looks in the Bahamas and the two party system a revolution is Brewing and could have deadly results for this young Nation.

from all the hate topics: gays, politics, race, religion and courruption, the Haitions and other Nationals Ethnic cleansing is in the works.

Histoy tells us that man is destend to repeat himself I do hope not in our Bahamas we need to slove all these Social problems.

alot of peple think that Gays and Lesbians are weak NO that is not the case, Gays and Lesbians know how to pick up arms and protecet themselvs so as Hatians and other Nationals.

Obviously yall dn't know what the word Designate means,if need be I'll post it for yinna. :board2:

It is obvious that there are some persons who haven't achieved the ability of comprehending the realm of politics very well. One of the first lessons that one must learn about this phenomenon is that "what goes around comes around." Secondly, it is imperative that all of those persons directly involved in the process be prepared to face the reality of whatever message the electorate promotes be it by way of gossip, radio talk shows, newspaper editorials, etc.

If Tommy Turnquest was betrayed it was by the people and not the Free National Movement simply because it was the people who didn't want him as Prime Minister of this country and, later, as Leader of the Opposition. Sir Lynden said it best: "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Tommy Turnquest should have listened to the people.

Algernon Allen, Pierre Dupuch and Tennyson Wells all have agendas; though not clearly indicated or defined for the general public to recognize their motives, the REALITY of the matter is that they have them. The noise that these men continue to make in the market is merely indicative of gripes that they can't and are not willing to get over. Like spoilt brats they whine and moan because they aren't able to get the toy they want - the position of Prime Minister of this country.

For the man, who's brain is so clouded by rumors that he has convinced himself that the FNM will fall apart, disintegrate or cease to exist, there is a message. Don't be fooled even by your own foolish conclusions. Look at the reality of what is and wisely determine for yourself what is to be. Prepare yourself for the political, economic and social restructuring of this country. Be ready for the next level of governance and direction that The Bahamas is headed in.

Here in lies the reality - Hubert Ingraham is back! The air is stink with political fear and, this time, it is really over!!!

You forgot to mention that the PLp also came into power with a campaign that was "allegedly" funded by the drug boys, and a fellow from over PI who was seeking to have a bank licence restored.... recently one of the drug boys who was released on bail pending extradition has been allegedly been awarded a contract to construct sea walls on the island of Eleuthera......whats more corrupt than that.....:hot: :hot: :hot:
