NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard is pushing back against Prime Minister Philip Davis, accusing him of taking what he describes as “potshots”.

His comments came ahead of his return to the house of assembly following a two-session suspension.

Pintard suggests the Prime Minister should address issues within his own party before looking to judge others.

Michael Pintard, “It’s an historic event for the Prime Minister, no less, to have to come out to protect, uh, his deputy, prime minister and deputy leader from a minister who which wishes to take, uh, his job. “

Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard responding to comments made by Prime Minister Davis during a PLP branch meeting last night.

The PM suggest that the FNM is plagued by division and unrest.

Michael Pintard, “ If you are looking for a party that is in disarray, a prime minister that is unable to manage his cabinet, uh, properly, then you need only look at the PLP.”

Rumors of a possible divide within the Progressive Liberal Party surfaced after a full-page ad was posted in a local newspaper.

The ad featured energy and transport minister Jobeth Coleby-Davis and Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper, who is also the PLP Deputy Leader.

On Monday, Cooper told reporters he’s focused on doing the work of The Bahamian people.

Outside the House of Assembly today, the energy minister telling our news exclusively the ad was a political mischief that tried to sow discord.

Jobeth Colbey-Davis, “ I support the leadership of the PLP, and I have no dealings with that ad, and I did not consent for that to be printed. And so unfortunately it didn’t do what they were expecting because we’re one team, we’re working together. To better the lives of the humans. “
