Gloria A. Fahie considering At Large run under VIP
According to sources, Ms Fahie is fed up and frustrated about the direction of the country and has expressed her strong consideration towards contesting.
Ms Fahie is reported to have said she is concerned about the fact that locals can't go on certain beaches and the state of education regarding the extra year, which she believes should be given in the earlier level and not the high school level.
According to sources, she is also fed up of the taxes levied on the small man and expressed that she would work to reverse these upon taking office.
Contacted yesterday May 3, 2015, Fahie told this news site that while a number of persons have asked her to run, she has not made a decision.
The list of VIP candidates for the upcoming elections is expected to be made public on the night of Wednesday, May 6, 2015 after the governing body of the VIP, the Congress, holds a meeting and elections to ratify its candidates.
The House of Assembly (HoA) of the Virgin Islands was dissolved on May 1, 2015, paving the way for elections to be held sometime in late May or June, 2015.
According to the Virgin Islands Constitutional Order of 2007, a general election shall be held at such time within two months, but not earlier than twenty-one days after every dissolution of the House of Assembly, as the Governor shall appoint by proclamation published in the Gazette.
