Who will secure Gov’t buildings during election transition?
Some have alleged that if the National Democratic Party (NDP 1) loses the elections, key government documents would be shredded, however, the basis of these allegations are unclear.
While there is a possibility of a coalition government forming where any leader could emerge, questions have also been raised about the security arrangements of the new Premier before he is sworn in, whether it is the controversial Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL) or Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1).

Nasty 2019 Election
The Election of February 25, 2019, will also bring to an end the bitter campaign where Chairman of the NDP, Hon Walwyn has been accused of being divisive by putting locals against residents from the Caribbean, locals against locals and picking a fight with neighbours in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI).
Mr Walwyn has called for a clean campaign but continue to attack his main opponents’ Hon Fahie, Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) and Hon Ronnie W. Skelton (AL), the latter who broke away from the NDP 1 to form his own political group, the Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIMP) aka ‘NDP2.’
While Mr Walwyn is born in the Virgin Islands (VI) he has said a few years ago, there is nothing that can be done to protect Virgin Islanders.
