Robert King Steps Down as OBA MP | Bermuda News

Robert King, former leader of the One Bermuda Alliance and MP for Smith’s North, has broken away from party politics to serve as an Independent in the House of Assembly, citing a growing disconnect between his values and the party’s direction. He entered politics to serve the people—not parties or special interests—and says he can no longer compromise his duty to constituents by staying aligned with OBA. Though he’s not retiring from politics, he’s rejecting a style he believes has failed too many Bermudians. As an Independent, he vows to support good ideas and collaborate with anyone who prioritizes Bermuda’s best interests. His move shifts the Assembly’s balance: PLP now holds 25 seats, OBA 10, and one Independent. Elected in a 2024 by-election and re-elected in 2025, King now acts solely on what he believes is right for Bermuda, free from party constraints.
