General elections were held in the Bahamas on 16 September 2021 to elect all 38 members of the House of Assembly.[1]

Around two hours after the polls closed, and results started to trickle in, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis conceded defeat, after results showed his party Free National Movement losing several seats they previously held. Since 1997, every election has resulted in a change of government.[2] On 17 September Philip Davis of the Progressive Liberal Party was sworn in as prime minister.[3]
