Hon Archibald C. Christian quits NDP
Hon Christian holds the NDP Government portfolio of Junior Minister for Tourism and a party position of Treasurer.
In his resignation letter addressed to the NDP Chairman, Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (AL), dated today, November 13, 2018, Hon Christian said the resignation, is with immediate effect.
According to a copy of the resignation letter seen by Virgin Islands News Online, Hon Christian informed the party leader that, “it is with sincere regret that I write to inform you that effective immediately I hereby resign from my position as Treasurer and member of the National Democratic Party.”
Founding Member
He went on to remind the recently elected NDP Leader, “As you are aware, I was a founding member and as of June 2018 elected Treasurer.”
Hon Christian informed the NDP leader that the party’s financial records have since been turned over to “former deputy treasurer Mr Russell Harrigan.”
The resignation by another of the founding members of the NDP, comes just hours after the party’s Vice President, Dr Michael A. Turnbull, also tendered his resignation.
The resignations of both Dr Turnbull’s and now Hon Christian, come days after the NDP Executive Meeting heard that Ms Shaina M. Smith, who also served as Chairperson of the party’s Women’s Association, also tendered her resignation, with immediate effect.
The NDP has split and continues to suffer the loss of numerous stalwarts, ever since the recent election of Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (AL) as its new Chairman and Leader.
According to senior sources in Honourable Ronnie W. Skelton’s (AL) Virgin Islands Progressive Alliance (VIPA) wing, more resignations are expected in the coming days.
