NASSAU, Bahamas – Veteran Bahamian photographer Derek W. Smith posted this classic photo of former Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert A. Ingraham going to the House of Assembly in 1992 that we had to share with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. Derek posted this historical photo with the following narrative:

In the historic election of August 1992 when the FNM unseated the Progressive Liberal Party, Ingraham succeeded the late Prime Minister Sir Lynden Pindling, who had headed the PLP government since January 1967.
