All candidates have now been ratified and with this Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts says the party is ready for a sure win.

He said in a brief statement that the party is now fully preparing for the upcoming 2017 General Elections.

“By all accounts, the internal electoral process was free, fair, transparent, robust and democratic , at all times compliant with the provisions of our party’s constitution,” he said.

“The PLP remains the most united and stable political organization in The Bahamas with one undisputed leader, the Rt. Hon. Perry G. Christie, who enjoys the full support of his Parliamentary Caucus, party delegates and the National General Council.”

Mr. Roberts noted that should the party regain power it will continue to save the country from the brink of the fiscal cliff and the smooth implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT).

All while laying a stable foundation for education.

“The Bahamas is on the eve of universal access to healthcare through NHI and we are moving forward with food security through the establishment of BAMSI,” he said.

“These are just some of the big transformational initiatives that will not only move The Bahamas forward together, but will change the lives of thousands of Bahamians forever. Along the way more than 32,000 jobs were added to the economy and we increased the minimum wage by 40%.”

The PLP on Monday evening finally selected QC Wayne Munroe as its standard bearer for the Freetown constituency, a seat that was vehemently contested by Frank Smith.

Mr. Roberts is holding that the PLP will defeat the Free National Movement (FNM) as it is a necessity for the betterment of the country.

“Dr. Minnis and his divided FNM represent a dangerous risk the Bahamian people will and must not take,” he said.

“The PLP pledges to the Bahamian people to move this country forward together.”
