Legacy
The FNM won a second landslide victory in 1997 and Pindling retired from politics shortly afterward. He was succeeded by Perry Christie. Three years later, on 26 August 2000, Pindling died after a prolonged battle with prostate cancer. He was buried on 4 September 2000 in a full state funeral. There is also a large body of opinion which suggests his activities in the 1980s tarnished his image badly. In 2006, 'Nassau International Airport' was renamed 'Lynden Pindling International Airport' in his honour.
