General elections were held in Bermuda on 18 July 2017 to elect all 36 members to the House of Assembly. The result was a victory for the opposition Progressive Labour Party, which won 24 of the 36 seats. Incumbent Premier Michael Dunkley subsequently resigned as leader of the One Bermuda Alliance.[1] Bob Richards, a senior minister and deputy premier in Dunkley's government unexpectedly lost his Devonshire East seat.[2]
