WASHINGTON, May 12 (Reuters) - Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis and his ruling Progressive Liberal Party were re-elected on Tuesday, making him the first leader to be elected to a second consecutive term in nearly 30 years.
"The Bahamian people have spoken, and I receive their verdict with humility and gratitude," Davis told Reuters.
"This victory is a mandate to keep moving The Bahamas forward, to expand opportunity, strengthen security, ease the pressure on families, and deliver progress across our islands."
