Dr Minnis, the Free National Movement has made its decision regarding the Killarney constituency—and that decision stands.

It is disappointing, though not surprising, to hear you describe the party’s choice as an attempt to “forcibly end” your service. What’s more disappointing is the selective memory. As leader, you denied renomination to seven sitting FNM MPs without consultation, compassion, or explanation. There were no statements then about upholding the constitution or democratic values—just cold political execution.

The same authority you exercised as leader is the same authority now guiding the party forward. You cannot cry foul when the very standard you set is now applied to you.

You claim to still be a member of the FNM, yet your public attacks undermine party unity and attempt to erode confidence in its leadership. If you truly believe in the FNM and its future, it’s time to show it through action—not bitterness.

This party is moving ahead—with new leadership, a renewed mission, and a clear vision to win the next election and serve the Bahamian people with integrity. We will not be distracted by nostalgia or noise. The road ahead belongs to those willing to walk it with discipline, unity, and humility.

We wish you well as you decide your next steps. But let it be known—the FNM is not looking back.
