EDITOR, The Tribune.

I would say I am a casual observer of Bahamian politics, but even I can’t deny that Pintard has really come into his own as a leader in our political landscape as of late.

He is bringing a completely different level of energy and passion to the table, particularly as the country battles a wave of violent crime and public angst. If the barbershop and lunchtime conversations are anything to go by, he seems to finally be resonating with the average man on the ground. I did not know prior to a recent interview on national news that he grew up in Yellow Elder, or that he could lose the fancy political jargon depending on the subject. He would be well advised to keep “keeping it real.”

I will be watching to see if this translates into momentum as the machinery for the next election ratches up. But for now, colour me surprised and impressed.
