JUST IN: Flax-Charles resigns from VIP

Junior Trade Minister, Shereen Flax-Charles

Territorial At-Large Representative Shereen Flax-Charles has parted ways with the Virgin Islands Party (VIP).

Flax-Charles made the disclosure in a statement to the media moments ago.

The move comes days after Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley said she failed to be accepted by the VIP Congress as a candidate over a failure to properly file documents as required.

According to Flax-Charles: “While I am grateful for both the triumphs and the obstacles which I encountered along the way, it is clear to me that at this stage, I must part ways with the Virgin Islands Party. As of today, I have tendered my resignation.”

“I never abandon the job. So, let the question go answered. I am seeking re-election to continue the effort which has been entrusted to me. If it is the people’s will, I will continue to be their voice and champion, even if I stand alone,” she added.

BVI News will bring more details on this breaking news at a later time.

VIP has 10 candidates for upcoming general elections so far

    Once upon a time,just yesterday Tolians and its sister Islands were mindful of their Sunday,the main Holy Day. Airwaves on blast with Hymns and Sermons,visiting the sick and plenty door to door prayers years mixing and mingling.
    Now Sunday is simply another foreday early morning murdering and early afternoon,finalization of political suicide pronouncements for dinnertime enjoyment. Lawd,not even Donald Trump is that uncouth.

    What is getting out old is the manner in which others support behaviours that are not conducive to the development of our territory. The interest is only in “my party in” then the victimization starts. The majority of this territory are pleased with Mrs. Flax-Charles; she spoke out. The majority of the people in these Virgin Islands and abroad are 100% behind her.

    Honorable Shereen may have well-intentioned qualities that could contribute to the territory, but it is Honorable V. Wheatley who has done the grueling work and proven to be a capable lawmaker. He doesn’t seek recognition or fanfare, but solely focuses on serving the citizens of Virgin Gorda and Anegada. The art of politics involves bargaining and making concessions. Too often, we are quick to judge based on appearances rather than taking the time to examine the tangible achievements that truly benefit the people
