ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The National Democratic Party (NDP) continues to hemorrhage its leadership, the latest being with the resignation of the party’s Vice President, Dr Michael A. Turnbull.

The party’s Vice President tendered his resignation yesterday, Monday November, 12, 2018, with immediate effect.

Virgin Islands News Online has since secured a copy of Mr Turbull’s resignation which states: “ Over the last several months I have had the pleasure of being part of an amazing group of young people that crafted significant movements with the beloved National Democratic Party, this movement was symbolized by ideals that I still value and believe are deep within the foundation, however at this juncture for reasons that I reserve to dispel, I hereby tender my resignation as Vice President, with a heavy heart, with immediate effect.”

NDP Split

Mr Turnbull’s resignation comes 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.

    that’s a no brainier: hello!!! Blood thicker than water- the good man also made the switch and going with Bro.Mitch: Mitch & Skeleton now flexing their muscles: Troy will submit his “presentation” in a few days: Dr Smith & Dr Pickering held that group together over the years: Smith gone so what going on now should be no surprise...#3 was sitting good; until Skeleton toss his hat in the ring: let’s wait for the fat-lady to sings: I still suspect a number of jaws will drop after next election(keep the faith)
