Vote for NDP Chairman & other officers rescheduled to February 6, 2018
Mr Potter is expected to seek another term, after being in the position for seven years; however, elements within the party see him as a hindrance to eventually voting on a new Party President, the post that Dr Smith holds.
A meeting scheduled for January 25, 2018 was postponed and eventually held instead on Saturday January 27, 2018 at party headquarters next to Village Cay.
The main item on the agenda was the election of officers, that of Chairman and other officers like Secretary and Treasurer, to name a few. The election of a new Party Leader held by Dr Smith is off the table, according to two persons who are familiar with the meeting but not authorised to be quoted by name.
Absent from the meeting were Deputy Premier Dr The Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering (R7) and Hon Ronnie W. Skelton (AL). All other elected members were reportedly in attendance.
New election for Chairman being pushed; Not pleased with President Smith
There has been both private and public discontentment with the Party Leader Dr Smith, who is now 73 and has been at the helm of the NDP since it was founded in 1998.
At the February 6, 2018 meeting, if it occurs, an election is expected to take place for the office of Chairman, and other administrative positions of the party. At the Saturday meeting, the members present discussed the issues of how the elections are to be conducted.
There are concerns by some NDP members, including whether they will return to the polls with its current leader Hon Smith. Many have both privately and publicity called for him to be stripped of the Finance portfolio, giving it to Hon Skelton (AL), the Health and Social Development Minister.
Public calls have come from current NDP party representatives, ordinary citizens along with party spokeswoman and former Legislator Eileene L. Parsons OBE, including Hon Melvin M. Turnbull (R2) aka ‘Mitch.’ Hon Turnbull, who said in the House of Assembly in front of Premier Smith on December 13, 2017 that most of the other NDP members, including the Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Resources and Labour Dr The Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering (R7), share his views.
To date, only two elected NDP members out of 10 have disputed publicly Hon Turnbull's claims; Dr Hubert R. O'Neal (R9), and Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL), the Education and Culture Minister.
