The pursuit of a better Bonaire in a hopeful environment with administrative stability have formed the basis for the coalition agreement between the MPB (with four seats in the Island Council) and the UPB (with two seats in the Island Council), “according to the introduction in the signed document.

According to yet unconfirmed reports, MPB Party leader Tjin-Asjoe, UPB party leader James Kroon and the number 2 of MPB Nina Den Heyer who will be three deputies in the new executive council.

The leader of the Democratic Party, Clark Abraham (3 seats), was surprised by the announcement of the signing. “We as PDB had a fruitful exploratory talk with the MPB and we would promised a follow-up meeting,” says Abaham. However, the invitation for another meeting never materialized.

The MPB and UPB together have a comfortable majority of 6 out of a total of 9 seats in the Island Council.
