Iram Lewis - Central Grand Bahama Member of Parliament  Lincoln Bain - Coalition of Independents Leader

In this gripping episode of On the Record, host Jerome Sawyer sits down with Central Grand Bahama MP Iram Lewis following his dramatic departure from the Free National Movement and his surprise alignment with the Coalition of Independents (COI), led by Lincoln Bain. Lewis explains that his decision stemmed from growing internal dissatisfaction, a lack of respect within the FNM, and a desire to serve his constituents without compromise. He frames his move as one of conviction, rooted in prayer, principle, and a call to put the Bahamian people first. In the second half, Bain outlines the COI’s vision for a radically restructured Bahamas, advocating for greater local autonomy, economic empowerment, and transparency. Now with a voice in Parliament, Bain and Lewis together signal what could be a pivotal shift in Bahamian politics, challenging the longstanding PLP-FNM dominance and calling for a new generation of leadership grounded in national self-determination and citizen-first governance.
