Shereen D. Flax-Charles signals NDP At-Large bid; Awaits convention vote

Former At-Large Representative Shereen D. Flax-Charles has indicated she is seeking one of the National Democratic Party’s (NDP) at-large seats in the next general election, but says she cannot yet issue a formal declaration because she must first clear the party’s internal nomination and convention process.

BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI- Former At-Large Representative Shereen D. Flax-Charles has indicated she is seeking one of the National Democratic Party’s (NDP) At-Large seats in the next general election, but says she cannot yet issue a formal declaration because she must first clear the party’s internal nomination and convention process.

Speaking on the Talking Points radio programme on ZBVI 780 AM on Monday, September 21, 2026, Flax-Charles stated, “But I can’t give you a declaration quite yet; however, I am in the running.”

She added, “I’m hoping to have one of the At-Large seats as a candidate with the NDP.”

The former legislator explained that, under the NDP’s system, prospective candidates are nominated and then voted on by delegates at convention, with only the top vote-getters securing spots on the ballot. She also disclosed that the incumbent NDP At-Large Representative Hon Ronnie W. Skelton has been given an automatic slot.

“So that is my intention, to be successful in that area,” she said.

Flax-Charles previously served as an At-Large legislator with the Virgin Islands Party (VIP), before defecting to the then Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM), and has been active in community meetings and public advocacy on issues such as access to The Baths on Virgin Gorda and pay for emergency medical technicians. 

Shereen D. Flax-Charles ran with PVIM in 2023 elections

She stated that in the last general election she “moved on” after having run unsuccessfully with the Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM), signalling a shift in party affiliation since then.  

Recent NDP activities have already featured her alongside other party figures, including chairman Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) and district representatives, though the party has not yet publicly announced its full slate of candidates.

Party leader Hon Penn has indicated the NDP has selected its full slate internally, but names are to be announced “in due time.”

      When the whole baths situation was going on some poster by the name of LB did a in depth post exposing both of the sisters . I believe that Shreen has potential but is emotional The second issue is that the PLM is currently what the NDP was in its most sucessful time period. A better strategic move would have been with PLM.They will be the emerging party to challenge the VIP not the current NDP as it is.

        PLM IS THE TEAM TO JOIN, NOT NDP. VIP CAN BEAT NDP VERY EASY AND THEY WILL. IT IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY GOING UP AGAINST PLM AKA THE YELLOW SWUAD.

            Its called well financed.One way or another elections are about finacing, People talk about white envelope etc but all the money trickles down . TV stations make money running ad , Radio stations same. News publication digital and print run ads , bands get money to play at political rallies , supermarkets get orders for food for fish fry /BBQ, infrastructure projects are rolled out .BVI dosent have a monolopy on that , in fact they might be one of the places where it is not as blatant . So lets stop the coy behaviour . PLM is financed , experienced has vision and knows how to execute. They will be the only viable challenge to the VIP .

      We will hear a lot of shouting for the next few months.
      If she is elected we will hear shouting every three months or so when she remembers that she has not done anything for three months.
      If she loses, we will hear shouting every once or twice a year.

      She is too loud and self-centered. She grates on our skin like Brillo. I cannot picture listening to her again for years. My blood pressure rises just listening to her try to justify herself. Nah, not her again.

      Sex sells, all she have to do is wear some low cut tops/blouses to reveal her ample chest and wear skirts and dresses to reveal her leg and thighs. That will help the NDP pull in votes. Just keeping it real. You planted the seed and I water the plant.

    This broken record been played before and was not in the top 100. You were a rep before and added no value whatsoever to your native VG community or the wider territory apart from having government renting an apartment which you never used.

    Nothing new to offer apart from a different hairstyle color. Why’s have you accomplished since your two year salary from government stopped coming?

    Whats up with Ronnie..? He need to say what he is doing... Is he running or not so I can decide how I am going to vote....The BVI only got two people qualified enough to be Premier Ronnie and Sowande and one person honest, caring and Clever enough to lead us into independent and be Prime Minister and that's Ronnie...Two of my atlarge votes already gone. One For Ronnie and one for Mather. The other two Will be decided during the campaign and who can convince me that they are real and for the people not fakez, not selfish.

    She has her strengths and she has her weaknesses and I believe she means well. Unfortunately her negatives are greater than her positives. She is far too emotional and cannot control her feelings. She has great difficulties working with others, and becomes really challenged when she is not in control. The people will decide!

    Congratulations, SHEREEN!!
    THIS, IS, the type of news that makes my day!

    Many have complained about your assumed brassiness, and sexiness( SMHHH), but, it's all good! :))))))))

    A good looking politician, coupled with the requisite skills necessary to lead, I say, is the smoking gun the country needs!!
