Key takeaways
- The victory marks the first time in three decades a Bahamian political party has noticed back-to-back general election wins.
- The results were announced late on Tuesday, and Davis celebrated the outcome with a speech to supporters in the capital, Nassau.
- “To Bahamians who voted today but did not vote for us, I want you to know I’ve listened to you, I’ve heard you, and I want you to know that I will continue to work hard for all Bahamians,” Davis said.
