Former NBA player Rick Fox has been selected by the Free National Movement (FNM) to serve as one of its four representatives in the Senate of The Bahamas.

Fox’s appointment comes just days after his defeat in last week’s General Election.

The former basketball star contested the Garden Hills constituency but lost to incumbent Progressive Liberal Party candidate Mario Bowleg, who currently serves as Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture.

Also appointed to the Senate by the FNM are Elsworth Johnson, Arinthia Komolafe and Dr Trevor Johnson.
