The government of the Bahamas has hired Roger Stone, a longtime political consultant and ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, along with a MAGA influencer, to advise on communications strategy ahead of the country's 2027 general elections. The move was confirmed by multiple news outlets on May 1, 2026.
Stone, known for his work in U.S. politics and his role in the 2016 Trump campaign, will reportedly focus on digital outreach and voter engagement. The identity of the MAGA influencer has not been officially disclosed, but sources suggest it is a prominent figure from the conservative online ecosystem.
Prime Minister Philip Davis's administration faces a tight race against the opposition Free National Movement (FNM). The hiring has sparked debate in the Bahamas, with critics questioning the influence of foreign political operatives in local elections.
