The Bahamas House of Assembly has been suspended until December 11 following a serious disruption when MP Shanendon Cartwright seized the ceremonial mace and threw it out of a window.
The incident occurred during today’s parliamentary session, which had been scheduled to address multiple pieces of legislation.
Speaker Patricia Deveaux reported she feared for her life during the altercation. She stated she was assaulted and narrowly avoided being struck, crediting a glass of water in front of her for protection.
The Deputy Speaker has been hospitalized with head injuries, and a police officer was also injured in the incident.
Members of the Free National Movement (FNM) attempted to prevent officers from removing Cartwright by linking arms on the parliamentary benches.
Security personnel ultimately had to forcibly remove the protesting MPs.
The unprecedented disruption has delayed consideration of several important legislative items that were on today’s agenda.
Parliamentary authorities have yet to announce whether additional security measures will be implemented when the House reconvenes next week.

Only in Antigua our opposition sit quietly on their side
What do you want them to do.? Unmask their ignorance and dumbness by opening their mouths?? At least that much they know!
Mr was on drugs? Such rage. Hahahahahaha
How embarrassing for the Bahamas Parliamentarians. Thankfully our Antiguan politicians hasn’t resorted to this sort of behaviour INSIDE Goverment House.
However, questionable behaviour OUTSIDE the building is a whole other matter … 😁
No. He wasn’t. That’s how seriously political is in other countries. Only in Antigua is it a friendly business while poor stupid voters fight on the outside.
My Lord…..
The irony of it all is that sungoo aint different to lungoo. Its all about the opposition wanting their share at the pie to engage in their shenanigans.
Made me laugh
Politics and all of the power hunger politicians who sits in Parliament, while we the Clowns and Believers who worship them looks on from the outside. I wonder what would the world be like without politics and religion.
I hope you guys the lack of decorum in that house. Also, notice the configuration of the house. What we have in Antigua and Barbuda is a world class state of the art parliament. Self control is lacking in many of the legislative houses in the jurisdiction.

Dave ray you’re such a f?ck!ng idiot u nasty anti man cunt , this is to show that the opposition really cares about the people and is serious about the country!
@Carvaa! Religion and politics are cut from the same cloth, hence the reason for the term minister to describe them. The only difference is in the style of their blouse, skirt, frock and gown whenever they stand at their pulpit-podium to spew their garbage and lies with little consequences as they work their Obeah on the sheeple.
