Bahamian Evolution
Grassroots activism, public education and natural-resource documentaries brought ownership, transparency and national wealth to the centre of public debate.
About the movement
Educate. Unite. Empower.
The Coalition of Independents was formed to move The Bahamas from corruption, dependency and exclusion toward a nation of informed citizens, independent leaders and Bahamian owners standing together.
What is a coalition?
Different independent voices, joined by a common purpose.
A coalition is the joining together of political organisations and independent candidates around a shared goal. The COI exists to help Bahamians benefit from their country, Constitution, legislation and natural resources.
We believe public power belongs to the people. Our task is to become responsible gatekeepers for Bahamian opportunity and to build institutions that are transparent, accountable and capable of delivering national progress.
Our story
From activism to a national political movement.
The COI grew from years of public education, civic action and a conviction that Bahamians should own the value they create.
The Coalition is formed
Independent candidates and emerging political organisations came together around a common mission. The Coalition of Independents officially launched in April.
First general election
Only months after formation, the COI entered the national election and continued organising, protesting and advocating after polling day.
Vision 2030
The movement fielded a national candidate team and released a connected policy programme, including the first detailed 100-day plan published by a Bahamian political party.
