A confident Bowleg seemed unbothered.

The same question was posed to PLP Chairman Fred Mitchell, but Mitchell had a slightly different response.

“ I don’t have anything to say about Rick Fox. Nothing to say about Rick Fox at all, nothing.”

The PLP Chairman was also asked to weigh in on the Free National Movement slate of candidates well.

Mitchell, in his response, didn’t seem impressed.

“ You know, zero plus zero is zero.”

With the PLP’s full slate of candidates now ratified, Mitchell says party machinery is already on the road, and the PLP is focused on making what he called a “sober, reasonable case” to the Bahamian people for re-election.

“ I think the Bahamian people in their considered judgment, I hope, will support us, and that’s the spirit within which we will go to the Bahamian public. We take nothing for granted.”

“Nothing has to be taken, as if it’s inevitable. We know we have to make a case and we will make the best case we can, and we pray that the Bahamian public in their considered judgment supports the Progressive Liberal Party.”
