New political party Virgin Islands Innovative Association is coming- Claude O. Skelton-Cline
That’s according to social commentator and host of Honestly Speaking, Pastor Claude O. Skelton-Cline, during the April 21, 2026, airing of his show.
“In this election season, that has apparently already commenced, it looks like we’re going to have several groups running,” Skelton-Cline said. The general election is constitutionally due in 2027.
VI Innovative Association
In addition to the Virgin Islands Party (VIP), National Democratic Party (NDP), Skelton-Cline confidently revealed that the Virgin Islands Innovative Association is “doing a lot of work behind the scenes”.
The grouping he added is organised with a Chair, and while he said he did not have permission to reveal the Chair’s name, he did refer to the individual as “he”.
“They’re coming, and they will offer a slate of persons.”
‘A leadership deficit’
Skelton-Cline also said the All 13 Must Go movement is evolving.
“They are coming, they have some eight, nine candidates that they can speak for concretely now.”
He added that the rise of new political parties indicates a leadership deficit in the Virgin Islands.
“When you see so many people and so many parties forming, vying for authority or power politically, it tells me that there is a loss of trust and believability, there is a level of angst and anxiety in the country that signals to the people’s spirit that there is a void here wanting to be filled.”
He added that there are already those who have announced their intention to run independently “in the fifth and at-large”.
“This is a clear signal there’s a loss, there is a deficit, there is a void in this country relative to representation in the political stratosphere,” Shelton-Cline said.
