In a concession speech released by the FNM, outgoing Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis has thanked Bahamians for the last four years:<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

Tonight I spoke with Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party Philip Davis and offered my congratulations to him and his party on their victory at the polls,\u201d Dr Minnis said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI offered him my best wishes as his Government now faces the continued fight against COVID-19, and the restoration of our economy.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cI would like to thank the tens of thousands of Bahamians from across The Bahamas who voted for Free National Movement candidates. I also congratulate the FNM candidates who won seats in the House of Assembly.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI am in that number, and again my gratitude goes out to the people of Killarney for making me their representative for the fourth consecutive time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will lead the Free National Movement into the House as the leader of Her Majesty\u2019s Loyal Opposition. The Bahamas has a proud democratic tradition. The people decide who serves as government.<\/p>
