HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb 18, CMC – Premier David Burt led his ruling Progressive Labour Party (PLP) to victory in the general elections held on Tuesday, even as the main opposition (OBA) increased the number of seats it now holds in the Parliament.
Burt told supporters early Wednesday that “the work continues” as he led the PLP to a third election victory under his leadership.
“This victory is not about one leader or one party; it is about all of us and the future that the people of Bermuda have made clear that they want to build together”.
Burt, who called the elections 10 months ahead of the constitutional deadline, said that while there will be celebrations, the work continues on Wednesday “and that work is not just for those who supported us, but for every Bermudian, because, as we pledged in our election campaign, we will govern for all.”
According to the preliminary results released by the Parliamentary Registry Office (PRO), the PLP, which had won 30 seats in the last general election, won 25 seats with the OBA moving from six to 11 seats.
