At 27 years old, the Prime Minister gave me an opportunity that changed my life.
There were many people who said I was too young. Too inexperienced. That I was not ready for the responsibility of serving as Director of Communications for the Office of the Prime Minister.
Over the last five years, I carried those words with me every single day. I knew I would have to spend every day proving people wrong.
This morning feels like vindication. But this victory is bigger than me. This is the story of a country that chose progress. This is the story of a party that trusted young people to lead, create, organise, communicate, and fight until the very end.
Young people drove this campaign. Young people gave this campaign its energy, its ideas, and its spirit.
When I accepted this role, I promised myself that I would do it differently. I believed the PLP could run a modern campaign. I believed we had to think differently, communicate differently, and take risks. Sometimes people did not understand the strategy. Sometimes people questioned the decisions. But in the end, the strategy prevailed.
The PLP showed up. The people showed up. Bahamians believed in the leadership of Prime Minister Philip Davis and believed in the direction this country is heading.
For five years, I left everything on the table for the PLP, for the Prime Minister, and for the country I love. None of this would have been possible without my closest friends, my team, and my PLP family who stood beside me through every difficult moment, every sacrifice, every long night, and every challenge.
I want to thank the Prime Minister for trusting a young man with such a serious responsibility. Thank you for giving me the chance to play a meaningful role in this journey and in this victory. I will always remain grateful for that trust.
I also want to congratulate my friends in the FNM, especially the younger generation coming behind us. Last night I had the opportunity to speak with some of them, and I believe there is room for all of us to continue building this country together in our own way.
One of the greatest lessons from this election is simple: when young Bahamians are given an opportunity, we can succeed.
I will continue to advocate for young people to have a seat at the table, to have real responsibility, and to help shape the future of our country.
To every young person who believed in this movement, thank you for showing up for the Prime Minister, for the PLP, and for the future of The Bahamas.
Above all, I thank God for carrying me through this journey.
This morning, I feel deeply humbled by the opportunity, by the responsibility, and by the trust the Bahamian people have placed in us.
PLP ran almost no campaign on here (X/Twitter) and still dominated the polls.. when almost every twitter FNM write-up disguised as an apolitical opinion said otherwise 🤔
We have to accept the fact that Bahamian Twitter is like an FNM echo chamber
@Iamnotyourdawn Brave going back to back like Michael Jordan and Hubert Ingraham in 97. Clock it
taking bets not dissertations if anyone feels otherwise
Anthropic CEO says all coding jobs would be automated by 2027. That’s indeed scary as he is measured with his words unlike like Scam Altman.
He also says AI requires lot more PhDs with Physics/math than DSA codejeets. Guess I have two years to buy lots of agricultural land.
