Justin Mathias was today sworn in as a One Bermuda Alliance senator, replacing the party’s new chairman Nick Kempe.

Mr Mathias took his oath as an Opposition member of the Upper House before proceedings began this morning.

He joins Nandi Outerbridge and Andrew Simons on the OBA’s Senate team.

The new appointment follows Jeanne Atherden’s appointment as the party leader on Saturday.

Mr Kempe saw off Simone Barton to become the new chairman, by 177 votes to 65 the same night.
