Bahamians head to the polls to determine if Prime Minister Philip Davis's Progressive Liberal Party can secure a second term, something no leader has managed for nearly three decades.

The Progressive Liberal Party, facing strong competition from the Free National Movement, led by Michael Pintard, hopes to maintain its legislative majority amid voter concerns about rising costs and housing.

Attention is focused on the Garden Hills constituency, where incumbent Mario Bowleg faces a challenge from former NBA star Rick Fox, who is running for the Free National Movement, alongside other significant electoral battles.
