Dr HUBERT MINNISDear Editor,The rise of Dr. Hubert Alexander Minnis from the humble streets of Bain Town (Peter Street) to the highest office in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas is a classic tale of determination, only to be followed by a swift and politically bruising fall from grace.
When the FNM suffered a crushing defeat in 2012 and party leader Hubert Ingraham abruptly retired, Minnis was thrust into the leadership.
Dr. Minnis was sworn in as Prime Minister, carried on the shoulders of a populace desperate for transparency, fiscal responsibility, and change.
Dr. Minnis went from a historic majority to a resounding rejection in just four years.
Dr. Minnis was left stranded in a distant third place, capturing barely a tenth of the total votes cast.
