Paul Adderley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Lawrence Adderley (15 August 1928 - 19 September 2012)[1] was a Bahamian politician and lawyer. He served as acting Governor-General of the Bahamas from December 1, 2005, until February 1, 2006.[2][3]

Adderley was originally a member of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) under Lynden Oscar Pindling. However, Adderley left the PLP in 1965 and established the National Development Party (NDP) political party.[2] He returned to the PLP shortly before the Bahamas achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1972.[2]

Adderley retired from politics, remaining an active attorney as of 2010.[2] In September 2010, Adderley appeared in the documentary film On the Wings of Men, about Lynden Oscar Pindling by Bahamian filmmaker Calvin Harris.[2]

Adderley died on 19 September 2012, aged 84, and was given a state funeral on 28 September.[4]
