BAHAMAS PRESS IS BREAKING NEWS IN THE ELIZABETH BY-ELECTION. THE RULING HANDED DOWN JUST MINUTES AGO PLACES UP BY THREE. LEO RYAN PINDER IS MP ELECT FOR THE ELIZABETH CONSTITUENCY!!!!RYAN WINS!!!!!!!!!! ALL FIVE PROTEST VOTES WILL BE COUNTED IS JUSTICE ANITA ALLEN’S RULING…The crowds down at the Supreme Court building at this hour.
Didn’t Ingraham say when they go to court they ga tell the Judge Duane Sands is a Bahamian? Perhaps this is why the FNM lost, they had no case and didn’t argue nothing. The 5 voters were residents of Elizabeth but a BAD Commissioner of the Parliamentary Registrar Department FAILED to properly do its job.

Awakened, i read BahamasYouth post and busted out laughing. But now he is saying he voted for Rollins, when i swore he said he voted for Dr Sands.
LOL, i guess it goes to show that no one wants to be associated with a looser.
Bahamayouth!!!, you are back and you seem just as stupid as ever, Ryan had all five votes allowed, did you read the caption?, so how is it that you say that he won by one vote, you are so biased, why???, you still seem to still have a sexual fetish for Perry, what about Hubert?, the one who is governing this country right now, B.Y., you need to go back to the hole you resided in for however long you were gone, grow up DUDE!, now run along.
Congrats to Ryan , The hand writing is on the wall and soon the House of Ingram will fall , our long national nightmare has began to show light at the end of this tunnel, Yes Bahamians there is hope at the end of this long dark tunnel and once again , freedom and justice will reign supreme in the Bahamas.
Bahamasyouth, Ryan will do very well in the next two years to cement himself in the constituency and to endear himself to the good people of Elizabeth. Am afraid, though, that no matter how much he does, for those skeptics and those who did not support him or indeed would never support him, no amount of good will would be enough for them.
I just wanted to say that there is not a red shirt in sight in the picture! lol
The BATTLE IS NOT YET OVER its the Lords’. Congrads to RYAN for a one vote lead. I didnt voted for him but he was my second choice, I voted for Rollins. CONGRADS all you PLP enthusiast for a job well done. Too all the FNM’s enthusiast lets see what RYAN ga do in 2 years time. He promised plenty now lets see if hes going to DELIVER. To all the independents WATCH OBSERVE TO SEE IF RYAN WILL BE A GOOD MP. CONGRADS TO EVERYONE.
OH yes Russless Johnson you love to mention my name on this blogs but no matter what you will be a utter a$$ to the highest order underneaths Christie cheap thrown. Hes a prime example of a IGNORANT FOOL who careless about this country once a dog has PLP on it he will support no matter what but would ABUSE PEOPLE who dont support DOGS or FNM party. IGNORANT FOOL I TELL YA DAT. Yours truly -_-Bahamasyouth-_-
lolo lolo I am so happy that you are back and might even postpone my vacation to deal with you.I havent thrown my foot for a long time and but accept your challenge to chastise you daily.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Lizzy tries Ryan and bans Sands!!
Press Statement
By
Bradley B Roberts
National Chairman
Progressive Liberal Party
On Election Court Ruling on Elizabeth Constituency
February 16th 2010 Bye Election
March 23rd 2010
The Progressive Liberal Party is pleased with the ruling of the Election Court in the Elizabeth Bye-Election challenge that confirmed Leo Ryan Pinder as the winner and lawful representative of the good people of Elizabeth; this is consistent with the unalienable rights and democratic will of the people of Elizabeth.
The PLP thanks the people of Elizabeth for being steadfast, patient, longsuffering, and focused in the face of rank and naked abuse of state power for purely political means. We thank our members, supporters and campaign workers for their vigilance, dogged tenacity, and unwavering loyalty under sometimes difficult conditions; your contributions to this victory are invaluable and incalculable. The PLP remains indebted to you.
The PLP thanks Leo Ryan Pinder MP Elect for his vision, courage, composure, and commitment to use all of his skills, knowledge, resources, and abilities to improve the lives of the good people of Elizabeth. We are confident that Ryan will elevate the quality of the national discourse in the halls of parliament as he becomes a powerful voice and advocate for the good people of Elizabeth and the Bahamas in general.
Finally we thank our illustrious legal team led by PLP deputy leader Philip “Brave” Davis. His support team comprised Wayne Munroe, Valentine Grimes, Keod Smith, and Damien Gomez. The team performed most excellently.
The PLP would be remiss if it did not state for the record that the Judiciary – this third, equal, and independent branch of government – is the last defense of our democracy and in that hallowed place, the Supreme Law is interpreted and applied, not made. Implications, hints, and innuendos that laws are made in the courts are contemptuous as such inflammatory remarks undermine democracy and its chief defender, the Judiciary.
The ill-advised public pronouncement by the Prime Minister that “we (the FNM) are democrats; we win elections on the ground, not in the courts” was inappropriate by any standard of democracy because this unseemly remark implied that the associated legal processes mandated by law (and designed ostensibly to protect democratic rights) somehow make the electoral process less democratic and by extension, de-legitimizing the eventual winner in an election court challenge. The PLP condemns this remark as contemptuous of the judicial process and disrespectful to the candidates and voters alike. The Prime Minister must apologize to the nation forthwith.
It is both ironic and noteworthy that it was a decision of an Election Court that brought to an end the Parliamentary tenure of Leo Marvin Pinder, father of Leo Ryan Pinder, who himself enters Parliament as a result of the findings of an Election Court.
Once again, we thank all for delivering this victory for this auspicious event is not only a victory for the PLP, but indeed a sound victory for democracy, the good people of Elizabeth, and the Bahamian people at large.
END
We won, Altec; give us our moment; we whopped the damn Dictator. The losers are Malcolm Adderley; Hubert “Dictator” Ingraham and the lousy FNM party and government. The winners are; the good people of Elizabeth; Ryan Pinder; the PLP and the Bahamian people. Take dat Ingraham.
I am so glad to be a part of the forces that turned back the ARMADA of PAPA.We want more now and the party starts now .Thank you Lizzy for resisting the many temptations .10/10 the Bible 10
Congrats Mr. Pinder
I am glad he won, but its kinda anti climatic, lol!
