Former NBA champion Rick Fox lost his Garden Hills bid to PLP candidate Mario Bowleg in the May 12 general election, and on Wednesday he extended what he called a hand of cooperation to Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis and committed publicly to continuing his work in the Bahamas.

Fox’s video statement read as both a campaign concession and a deliberate departure from the standard Caribbean opposition script. He congratulated Bowleg and his family. He congratulated Davis directly. He thanked Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard for the partnership. He told Garden Hills voters that the constituency had lifted his spirit and prayed with him through the campaign. And then he said the part that matters: “I stand ready and willing to work with you to move our country forward.”
