## Resource

Duane Sands is accelerating the FNM’s convention timeline, arguing October 2027 is too late to course-correct after their election loss. He insists on objective voter feedback to break internal echo chambers and reevaluate strategy. While dismissing claims that former PM Hubert Ingraham was targeting current leader Michael Pintard, Sands acknowledges Pintard’s leadership fate rests with the party — praising his dedication despite uncertainty. Sands cites voter mobilization failure as a key reason for defeat, while confirming Deputy Leader Shanendon Cartwright remains central to the party’s future.
