Former OBA Leader Joins Independent Ranks | Bermuda News

Former Opposition leader Robert King has bolted the One Bermuda Alliance to run as an independent, citing a growing rift between his values and the party’s direction. His abrupt exit—just six months after being ousted by his own colleagues—has reignited political tensions, with the ruling PLP calling it a blow to the Opposition’s already shaky footing. The OBA, led by Ben Smith, insists it remains united and focused on urgent island issues, while King vows to serve Smith’s North without party constraints. With the OBA now down to ten seats and the PLP holding 25, the move underscores internal fractures and adds fuel to Bermuda’s ongoing political debate.
