NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Government officials, members of varying faiths, and Bahamians across the political divide, all gathered at Bahamas Harvest Church Monday morning, celebrating 59 years of majority rule.

Senior Pastor, Mario Moxey, taking the opportunity to admonish the nation’s leaders, saying it’s time to make way for the new generation, adding that today’s politicians are too old.

“A nation that delays its youth leaders eventually delays its destiny. If young people were trusted with the future of our nation in 1967, one of the most pivotal times in the history of our nation, why are they now often trusted only with campaign logistics, and photo opportunities.”

The 2026 General Election could be called soon, and as the race heats up during election season, it’s normal to see jeers thrown by political opponents.

Most times it can be seen as good political fun, but, as Pastor Moxey notes, at times, can be personal and cross the line.

“Opponents are attacking while casting vision for the future is left undefined. When rhetoric becomes vicious, it reveals much a much deeper issue. That much deeper issue is people fighting against each other when there’s nothing worth fighting all together.”

“The Bahamian electorate has matured over the years, we’ve matured. We are thinking voters, we are discerning voters. Bahamians will attend your rallies, accept your gifts, smile politely, and still vote based on vision not favours.”
