Bahamian Democratic Party
Defunct political party of the Bahamas
The Bahamian Democratic Party was a political party in the Bahamas. It was founded as a split from Free National Movement in 1975 and was led by John Henry Bostwick.[1] The party contested the 1977 general elections, in which it received 27% of the vote and won six seats,[2] becoming the largest opposition party in the House of Assembly. As a result, Bostwick was appointed Leader of the Opposition. The party eventually merged with Free National Movement in 1981.[1]
