Quick Summary

Craig Cannonier served as the premier of Bermuda, a self-governing British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. He became premier in 2012 as the leader of the One Bermuda Alliance (OBA) party. Cannonier's tenure was cut short when he resigned in May 2014 due to a scandal involving financial contributions to the OBA campaign from U.S. businessmen. He was succeeded by Deputy Premier Michael Dunkley. Bermuda's economy is largely driven by tourism and international finance, and it is known for its pink sand beaches. The territory has a parliamentary government, with the British monarch represented by a governor as head of state, and the premier as head of government.1
