ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- It was the talk of the town last month when former legislator and prominent businessman Mr Mark H. Vanperopool had his high-end Range Rover wrapped in the colours of the National Democratic Party (NDP).

On the wrapping, he announced he was an At–Large candidate with the same NDP.

Mr Vanterpool contested the Chairmanship of the NDP last weekend and got a headshot when he was defeated by Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) in a landslide vote, 65 to Mr Vanterpool’s 29.

It is unclear whether Mr Vanterpool will remain with the NDP, will run At-Large or is now considering a Fourth District run.

However, word reaching our news centre is that the wrapping has been removed. It is unclear if it was only placed on the SUV pending the end of the NDP internal party election.

Mr Vanterpool told many friends and supporters that he came back to head a political party and to become the Premier of the Virgin Islands.

At the time of publication, efforts to get a comment from Mr Vanterpool were unsuccessful.

    I agree with Mark, they did him bad. Let's see Marlon and Mitch take the NDP forward because two of them cannot make one.

      He once again proven that he is not loyal... Either his way or he is out. They put a process in place, the process worked.. Time for them to rally behind the winner and show unity strength...NDP scares the voters.

    Mark know that NDP is dead on arrival with M&M leading. Rhonnie Mark and Myron now need to form their own party. M&M cannot be leaders over those three men. Simple.

      Why not? Because we label them as the seniors or more seasoned. This is why many persons fail to go home out of some positions.

    Neither am I surprised that Mark did such a thing, nor that VINO would've reported on it if it happened.

    Respect Hon.Mark Vanterpool.If he runs hes going to win and they better pray to god he stick with them cause the VIP would definatley leverage his expertise. So in a twist of fate Hon. L Smith and Hon.M. Vanterpool might end up on the same party as CSC predicted , just not the party he expected.

          Days ahead? You all sound so stupid. The ndp you all met was planning for an April election, full slate or not. Turns out it might be after august, if not sooner. You all think people were going to wait? Well the one above saw, so you all keep spreading propaganda and get ready for judgment.

    I hope you all see his true colors. Just like his sister showed hers. They only care about themselves and being in the spotlight. This is all a game to that family. They care more about themselves and their legacy than they do about the best interests of these Virgin Islands. Sadly the 4th district will vote him in unable to see the snake in the grass.

    Say one say two Mark knows how to grab the spotlight. A simple move like putting the wrap on his jeep had the Islands lit up with talk and excitement so much so that its removal made the local news and again lots of chatter.

      If Mark wins, Just like his Sister he will hold the forming of the government hostage for power...We can see it coming...If he wins the lowest he settling for is deputy Premier and works minister...VI P will be waiting with open Arms to welcome him...
