Although Black Bahamians made up the vast majority of the population. \nIn the 1950s and early 1960s\, the rise of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) began to challenge the status quo. The PLP aimed to promote civil rights and full political participation for all Bahamians. \nOn January 10\, 1967\, a tightly contested general election resulted in a tie: 18 seats for the ruling United Bahamian Party (UBP) and 18 seats for the opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP). \nThe deadlock was broken when independent Alvin Braynen and Labour leader Randol Fawkes threw their support behind the PLP. This gave the PLP a slim majority of 20 to 18\, allowing them to form the first government led by representatives of the Black majority. \nIn 2014\, following public pressure to officially recognize the day's importance in the nation's civil rights and democratic development\, Majority Rule Day was only declared a national holiday.
