VIP to vote in December for its at Large slate; 8 persons to vie for 4 seats
According to the same source, 8 persons were nominated to fill four At-Large seats within the party. The eight persons include former Permanent Secretary and Businessman Julian Willock, businessman and former BVI Softball Association President Neville A. Smith aka ‘Sheep’, former 9th District Candidate and businessman Elton L. Sprauve aka ‘All Out’, Businessman and former Party President Cavin Malone, BVI Tourist Board Officer and Calypsonian Shereen D. Flax-Charles, Educator, Businesswomen and former candidate Sharie B. deCastro, former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority Claude O. Skelton-Cline plus businesswomen and author Mitsy J. Ellis-Simpson.
Change of Government?
Our newsroom caught up with one of the reported candidates Mr Willock who declined to comment but referred us to the VIP Chairman Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) who was not immediately available to respond to our inquiries, however, the Opposition VIP has already filled all of its district seats except for District two now held by the National Democratic Party’s (NDP) Hon Melvin M. Turnbull.
It is unclear which of the two NDP wings Hon Turnbull will be running with as the party has split with Co-Leader and Chairman Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL) heading one side and the Health and Social Development Minister Hon Ronnie W. Skelton (AL) heading another side called the Virgin Islands Alliance.
Most political and social pundits are predicting a change of government but with the by-election looming in District 5 to fill the seat of the late Hon Delores Lettsome-Christopher, it will also be a good indication of the way voters feel. The VIP’s candidate in that race is Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Mr Kye M. Rymer.

As much as I want change, I do not want change for change sake. People be careful who we select to represent us as these are serious times and just don’t select because it is VIP or NDP or whatever P.
