NASSAU, BAHAMAS The newly formed political party Coalition of Independents (COI) held a “mini convention” and virtual election on Sunday night, upholding an earlier promise by its leader for the membership to choose who would hold the head position.
Lincoln Bain.
Following the elections, Lincoln Bain, candidate for Pinewood, was returned unchallenged as the leader of the group.
Noted attorney Maria Daxon, candidate for Bamboo Town, was elected as deputy leader “by claiming an overwhelming majority of the votes”; while St Barnabas candidate Charlotte Green was elected as chairman and Southern Shores candidate Ron Rogers was elected deputy chairman.

Misreading the tea leaves
Dear Editor,
What do the Democratic National Alliance (DNA), The People’s Movement, Bahamas National Coalition Party, Bahamas Democratic Movement, Bahamas Constitution Party, Vanguard Nationalist and Socialist Party, Workers’ Party and the Coalition for Democratic Reform all have in common?
They’re all fringe political parties that have all failed miserably to make a significant difference on the political landscape of The Bahamas, unlike the Free National Movement (FNM) and the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) the two political dinosaurs that have staying power, like the Democratic Party and Republican Party in the United States.
With the political pendulum swinging between the FNM and PLP each election cycle since 1997, this has reinforced the age-old consensus that The Bahamas is a two-party state.
