BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI - Social and political commentator Pastor Claude O. Skelton-Cline believes the National Democratic Party (NDP) is regrouping for the upcoming general elections, but he has raised concerns about the future leadership of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

During the "Honestly Speaking" programme on March 24, 2026, Skelton-Cline stated, "What is curious, though, the NDP is coming back together, but, you know, what's amazing? They haven't decided yet who the leader of the opposition is going to be."

He expressed confusion regarding whether the current Opposition Leader, Hon Myron V. Walwyn (R6), will continue in that role.

"Are you gonna have one person who is the chair or not the chair continue to be the Leader of the Opposition, or are you going to switch them out?" He asked.

'Constitutional review still pending.'

The social commentator also highlighted that the constitutional review is still pending. 

"We have this constitutional review thing pending, yet they are back together again. You think that you could pull a wool over the people's eyes?" 

He added, "We are not tolerating any nonsense from any politicians. We are getting less than we deserve, and we're gonna make some changes, and I'm gonna help to meet it."

As previously reported by VINO, Pastor Skelton-Cline has revealed a potential list for the NDP for the next general elections, stating that the NDP family is back together.

Members of the National Democratic Party have made efforts in the past to remove the sitting Leader of the Opposition, Hon Myron V. Walwyn, but were not successful.

    NDP without Ronnie as leader is not a serious party...They are still going to have leadership confusion, neither Myron, or Marlon fit to lead. . Keeping it real and honest. Can't replace Sowamde with Myron or Marlon, that's going backwards,

      Remind us, not forgetting that the COI uncovered a lot of dirt against which party? We know the airplane was a bad investment; things happen and government won that case. High school wall noted but the school finished. We want back our money that was paid out to family, Friends and boyfriends.

    I would have to be a fool to believe tbat they've changed. I think they see that the VIP was on path to an easy victory so they've verbally agreed to unite however words are easy but actions take effort. The problem of leadership remains and none was big enough to step aside last time. None of the them are unifying forces. So the choke will remain in place between the ppl who are there and VIP will male whatever sacrifices are necessary to stay in power

    If the people cannot see through this power- hungry goof trying to worm himself back into the NDP because of power then then the people are truly blind
