MICAL (Bahamas Parliament constituency)
MICAL is a parliamentary constituency in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. It encompasses several islands in the southern Bahamas, specifically Mayaguana, Inagua, Crooked Island, Acklins, and Long Cay.
The MICAL constituency sends one representative to the House of Assembly of The Bahamas, which is the lower house of the Bahamian Parliament. The elected Member of Parliament (MP) for MICAL represents the interests of the residents of these islands in national legislative matters.
Due to its geographically dispersed nature and relatively small population spread across multiple islands, MICAL presents unique challenges for political representation and governance. Issues of transportation, infrastructure development, and access to services are often key concerns for the constituency. The needs of the residents of these islands, often related to sustainable economic development, hurricane preparedness, and adequate healthcare, are central to the MP's role.
Election results and historical representation for MICAL can be found in records of Bahamian general elections maintained by the Parliamentary Registration Department and news archives covering Bahamian politics.
