AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Election Day Prep: The Parliamentary Registration Department says voters should bring a purple voters card/biometric card or Bahamian ID, check their polling place at election.gov.bs, and come ready with water and any needed medication—while avoiding loud music, profanity, line-cutting, and vote solicitation. FNM Campaign Focus: FNM leader Michael Pintard urged voters to “give the FNM a chance” as polls open for 41 seats, calling out healthcare shortages and medication gaps, and pitching plans like VAT relief on essentials and child support support for qualifying families. Cruise Health Alerts: A norovirus outbreak on Princess Cruises’ Caribbean Princess has sickened 102 passengers and 13 crew; the ship was denied entry to Nassau and later docked at Port Canaveral after increased cleaning and isolation. Bahamas Cruise Tragedy: At Carnival’s Celebration Key, an 88-year-old woman died after driving a mobility scooter off a pier; police are investigating and an autopsy is planned. Local Agriculture: Grand Bahama’s Animal Control Unit and Public Market facility were rededicated, with officials linking the push to food security and a next generation of farmers and marine innovators. Hantavirus Watch: Bahamas health officials say they’re tracking a global hantavirus alert after a separate cruise outbreak, noting no Bahamas cases and no local itinerary links.
