Bermuda has sworn in the cabinet of the new One Bermuda Alliance government following last week’s election victory.
The new cabinet headed by Premier Craig Cannonier consists of 11 men and 2 women.
The One Bermuda Alliance, led by Cannonier, won 19 of 36 seats in Bermuda’s House of Assembly, with a total of 15,949 votes.
During the swearing-in, Mr. Cannonier said his government would use the its term for two “big changes” to Bermuda: to grow jobs and to “bring people together.”
He also said his administration would seek to extend the absentee ballot to Bermudian students abroad, “making this the last election they are denied a voice in the decisions of the country.”
“This is the day to start moving forward together for a Bermuda that achieves social and economic equality for all, leaving no one behind,” he said. “That’s the promise of this election. That’s the change we need.”
The members of the new cabinet are listed below:
Craig Cannonier: Premier and Head of the government of Bermuda
Michael M. Fahy: Minister of Home Affairs
Leah Scott: Minister without Portfolio
