Malone rejoins Unity Government!
Territorial At-Large Representative Carvin Malone has resigned from the His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and has crossed back over to the National Unity Government.
Speaker of the House of Assembly (HOA), Corine George-Massicote said she received a letter from Malone today (Thursday, February 2) and said the contents of that missive gave her notice of his return back to the Unity Government — an administration towards which he’s been antagonistic for months.
The Speaker publicly read Malone’s letter for the House of Assembly today. It read: “After careful consideration and consultation, it has been decided that I would vacate my post as a member of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and rejoin my Virgin Islands Party (VIP) colleagues as a member of the back bench in the Government of National Unity with immediate effect.”
“Pledge to discharge of all relevant information, save for topics of nation security and those limited by protocol,” Malone’s letter further read.
Malone did not provide any details about his motive for returning to the government. However, news of his latest parliamentary crossover comes less than 24 hours after reports that he will be challenging Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley for leadership of the VIP in the coming days.
This is the second time in roughly six months that Malone has crossed the political aisle. He announced back in June 2022 that he would cross over to the parliamentary Opposition as his views no longer aligned with the Dr Wheatley-led government.
That announcement followed his demotion as Minister of Health.

Bvi news you late
of the back and forth Road Town Representative
He is planning an overthrow
Hez a doggone grasshopper
Carvin Malone don’t know which way is up. When he flop around like this does he expect people to have confidence in him? I personally think not. Right now he is putting himself first, not the people. We should watch what happens down the road.
if he wins the chairmanship then what’s next?
is saying )> He He He
talk about political prostitution at its best. Here’s the script. None of our reps have any moral compass
This is what happens when yone don’t realize the after effects of many vaccine poison organs shots.
I finish with this voting thing! Only Jesus I can trust. These people are in it for their own gain; it is never about the people.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James Chapter 1 verse 8.
Boi oh boi! So yuh gone back over deh to geh some sewerage contracts eh mehson?!? Wow! No scruples at all…self over country
This man cant even speak clearly and concisely… All this back and forth making me feel he cant think clearly either.
A Blind Man can see what Aquaman is trying to do here. VIP Congress, those 76 delegates got this man head swollen. Carvin isn’t going to finish in the top 10. I will bet that once folks start to declare to run for election. Clearly, this is about self-interest and to Dethrone Premier Wheatley as the Chairman of the VIP. VIP Congress 76 Club members, you all are the problem here in the BVI??.
Pressure from VIP congress Force Sowande to take him back, Also after Carvin consulted with his friend the x premier he was encourage to make the move back, they dont like each other..Sowande aint want nothing to do with him, so as long as Sowande is Premier he will be a back bencher..
Missing the cheese shop?
it’s called , ,( the games people play / if he needs healing , am sure the holy consultant cSc would be honored to perform one of his hidden powers on the fellow ?
Oh young grasshopper, now you can sit back and eat popcorn and throw shade on Facebook. Politics in the BVI has become nothing but a big circus…*red nose & shoes optional*
I been finish wifh it long time. No amount of speech they say can make me go to any poll.
If you call yourself a VI citizen and care at all about the future, you must vote. Tell your friends and family to vote- only you can take away your voice.
Those commenting we shouldn’t vote are probably politicians afraid of voters.
I wonder who is advising these leaders . Malone you have lost all your credibility . The country has lost all confidence in you . How can you lead when you do not even know your own Ming . Politics haha !!
That grin is what you call”RAT GRIN”
People of The BVI yall need to stop being taken for granted.Non I mean non of the guys can be trusted to lead this country it’s all.about greed and personal self.For sure I’m not voting againì
He was on Tola Radio Morning show a few days ago about 45 mins, talking all kind of things, like he is people’s teacher or the People’s saviour and knows he was going to make this move, he would have done himself a favour and bring more credibility to himself and gain more trust from the people if he had just use that opportunity to say to the public what his intent was and explain why..He can’t be trusted..
We are on you Sir . We see right through your antics
1. Now that you cross over, you can be voted as Chairman for the party during your inner circle congress .
2. You can then declare that you want to
Lead the VIP party
3. Write to the Governor to have Natalio removed and you plant yourself as Premier for two months .
VIP all power hungry leaders
4. PVIM – Mitch and Ronnie can join NDP and come together for the good of the country
Power hungry – Ronnie wants to lead
5. Kedrick -Power hungry . He could have waited and ran in D7
A set of Power hungry men ——Using words to fool the people of the electorate
Allen committing political sucide . He can’t win Smurf but he speculating a foot hold in Govt
Everyone is in it for themselves
Talk cheap … what country over self mere words
OPPORTUNISTS
Although I do not like the character I would defend the fact that some people have different forms of speech impediments and while it tends to hinder your course of communication, it should not be seen as a flaw. Besides that, I agree all who running are doing so for self gain. Its NEVER about the people, except for making them pay.
I wish to God who ever be the leader take care of the people ? TOLA going down hill.please people give the present Chief Minister a chance ,one term cannot do it.
Give him a chance.
