Bahamas: Davis administration convenes first post-election Cabinet
*The new Cabinet met Tuesday at the Office of the Prime Minister following the May 12 general election — the political clock starts now on health, crime, and tourism portfolios.*
The Government of The Bahamas convened the first meeting of the new Cabinet on Tuesday, May 26, at the Office of the Prime Minister, following the May 12 general election. Tourism Minister Glenys Hanna Martin visited tourism staff at Lynden Pindling International Airport last week, and Transport Minister Leon Lundy represented the country at the 28th Conference of the Caribbean Postal Union earlier in May.
The substantive agenda waiting on the new Cabinet sits on three desks. Health: the Princess Margaret Hospital is still managing the Bundibugyo isolation case that surfaced earlier this month. Crime: an armed robbery in Oakes Field and ongoing public-safety concerns continue to press the policing brief. Tourism: the 2026/2027 Budget will be measured, per local financial analysts, by whether it changes the country’s economic fortunes rather than by what it announces.
For Bahamian-American diaspora households watching policy direction, the first thirty days of the new Cabinet’s portfolio assignments will be the leading indicator.
