PHOTOS: Massive VIP motorcade
Virgin Islands Party (VIP) supporters have come out in compelling numbers as the party undergoes its pre-election motorcade around the main island of Tortola.
By the looks of things, the number of vehicles participating in today’s motorcade surpasses those from the National Democratic Party grand motorcade a day earlier on Saturday.
The VIP motorcade, which was still underway up to press time, began at the festival grounds in Road Town then headed towards the western end of Tortola.
The pre-planned route sees the motorcade moving through Carrot Bay, then on to Cane Garden Bay before proceeding to the eastern end of Tortola. The motorcade will culminate in Road Town.
The Progressive Virgin Islands Movement has been roving the main island as well. Independent candidates Dancia Penn and Dr Kedrick Pickering also had motorcades of their own on Sunday.
In the meantime, below are scenes from Sunday’s VIP motorcade captured by independent photographer, Jessica Mikoleiczik.

FORWARD VIP!????
Even if NDP need changing it can’t be Andrew bossy.give me another name.
Ronnie
it’s team pl & lapdog sc
I am GLAD that you recognize that NDP needs changing. What a surprise you are in for when you get up on Tuesday morning and realize that Fahie is your Premier. Just don’t faint.
Fahie? come forward and tell the general Public where the monies for the after school program went.
Went straight to his gut
You are dayssss behind. Read the news and you would know. Tell NDP take up the challenge and say what they did with theirs except share it with family and friends like all the other kick backs from projects. They gone silent on Fahie’s challenge. Things that make you go hmmmm.
Like that motocade frighten you, what happen, you running scared?
Ah put a sock in your darn mouth. Tell yuh Mudda come outo he house
Well they say the motorcade determines the outcome of the election. As bad as they claim the NDP was at least they have something to show for such as the cruise pier. The last time the VIP was in consultancy fee were given to a number of persons and absolutely nothing to show. Andrew please discontinue that practice.
At the VIP event last night I told a supporter I’m undecided voting party all the way they told me to look around and all the people there my one vote doesn’t count. They further stated all the things Andrew has promised them. I am a VIP supporter but I still have questions unanswered. Proof of all the corruption allegations. Instead of Andrew clearly starting what you do to continue taking this country forward you jump and keep press conferences saying what the NDP done.
Why wasn’t Julian Willock nominated as an at large candidate…he would have done great along with Dancia but you allegedly undermined her by put a candidate against her last election. Those two on your team would have been a force to fight with.
Please Andrew no victimization because you persona supported other parties…your supporters have made this clear to others because they with other parties.
Right now it’s VIP half the way for me…..see what happens by morning.
The last big motorcade it had like that the party lost big time. A motorcade does not determine the outcome
It surely does. It’s a fair indication of how energized the electorate is about a particular party!! The year that you are speaking about was the year that NDP p@yd people to go in their motorcade and rented dozens of vehicles to make up numbers. Tek dat!!!
Andrew is a money l——-. Anyone else but him. He’s p———–s. A vote for VIP, is a vote for the man who’s under FBI i———— for c——n. He’s b– to the bone.
Congrads Hon. Fahie u done win
NDP is heading for a landslide victory. Myron has the youths development at heart.
Which youth you taking about. Not the same one he have attending school half day in a leaking building. My pet peeve with Myron is this as minister of education and someone who claims to be for the youths, I felt his priority should have been to fix the L shape building and get our children back to school full time. Under his watch almost every program for the youths have suffered and some have stop altogether. Our schools should have been top priority for someone who claims to be for the youths. He should have fought tooth and nail with every member of council to accomplish this. Same effort he putting into berating others he should have for the fixing our schools. Little drops here and there ain’t cutting it no more.
ITS FUNNY HOW YOU ALL BASHING HON. MYRON FOR THE FEW THINGS THAT DIDN’T GO AS PLAN. WITH ANYTHING OR ANYONE THERE ARE PROS AND CONS. ANDREW FAHIE SPENT DECADES IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR AND DID WHAT? HON. MYRON HAS ADVANCE THE EDUCATION SECTOR IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM THUS FAR FOR THE SHORT TIME HE HAS BEEN IN SO THAT OUR CHILDREN COULD COMPETE ON A INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. BEEN FOR THE YOUTH ALL THE WAY!GIVE JACK HIS HAT WHEN ITS DUE! YOU ALL PEOPLE SICK! EVERY ELECTION IS THE SAME THING DISSAFTIED WITH A PARTY YOU ALL VOTE THEM OUT AND VOTE IN A PARTY THATS BEEN IN BEFORE AND DIDN’T DO ANY BETTER. VIP MANY YERS AGO WAS THE SAME CORRUPT PARTY YOU TRYNG TO SAY NDP IS NOW! MAKE UP YOU ALL MIND MY GOSH!! AND IF ANY PARTY OTHER THEN NDP GET IN AND YOU ALL GET DISSATIFIED ONCE AGAIN BACK TO THE OLD! Y’ALL REAL FRICKLE ITS RIDICULOUS!!
A massive parade does not necessarily equates to votes cast. Regardless of each voter’s political philosophy, he/she needs to vote on Election Day, if he/she didn’t vote in early voting. This election is crucial and comes amidst one of the most challenging period in the territory’s history. The territory is faced with a myriad of challenges from within and outside the territory. As such, each voter must take pause and vote the national/territorial interest at the polls.
The new elected members must be able to hit the ground sprinting for the next four years. As such, they must have stamina, skill, strength, character, integrity, knowlegable, ability, hard working, unselfish, humility, forward looking, results oriented …….etc. It is a lot to ask but theee traits cannot compromised. Go vote. If you don’t vote, you lose the reason to complain. Be part of prescription for what ails the BVI.
Don’t forget western union??? It’s still in MIAMI.
YES THE MOST HONEST PREMAIR IN THE BVI HON MR FAHIE TAKE ALL ÌTS YOUR COUNTRY PRAYING FOR YOU MY BRO AND FRIEND YESSSSSSS HE MADE IT.
VIP SUPPORTERS PLEASE STOP COUNTING CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH.
The Beautiful village of Carrot Bay was chosen for both parties to take their photos.That was great thanks you NDP and VIP. Wish you both the best
