Commonwealth Labour Party (Bahamas)

The Commonwealth Labour Party was a minor political party in the Bahamas.

History

The party was established by Assembly member Randol Fawkes. It nominated eight candidates for the 1972 general elections,[1] but received only 254 votes and failed to win a seat.[2] Fawkes revived the party to contest a by-election in St Barnabas constituency in 1974, but finished third behind Sidney Outten and Arthur Foulkes.[3]
