Frederick McAlpine

Frederick McAlpine is a Bahamian politician and former Member of Parliament for Pineridge, first elected in 2017. Known for his independent stance, he gained attention for his strong second-place finish in the 2021 general election, where he garnered 1,175 votes. McAlpine has a history of opposing his party's policies, leading to his dismissal as Chairman of the Hotel Corporation after voting against a significant tax increase. He has since severed ties with the Free National Movement (FNM) and announced his intention to run again as an independent candidate in the upcoming general elections.
