Verna Smith running At-Large for Progressives United
The number of candidates in Progressives United is steadily increasing as the party has made another addition to the team.
Verna Smith is the latest addition and was announced on Monday as the Julian Fraser-led party’s second At-Large candidate.
Progressives United now has six candidates contesting the elections. A party needs at least seven elected members to form government.
The other candidates on the party’s ticket for the February 25 general elections are businesswoman Stephanie Brewley who is contesting the First Electoral District, party leader Fraser who is seeking re-election in the Third District, and former legislator Dr Vincent Scatliffe who will be vying to re-take his seat in Fourth Electoral District.
Former Customs officer, Dirk Walters will be contesting the Fifth District while businessman Rajah Smith is contesting an At-Large seat.

Because we are going to have a coalition government a party doesn’t really need 13 candidates. It will be a waste of time and money
Best of luck Verna…We have to get out these untrustworthy men by all cost in order to save this country
Dont even know what to say it is like a circus match fight oh lord its getting worse n worse
It seems like these women are fed up with the system because it have more women than men contesting the election?
It is time for women to stand up and show that we as Women can run a Government.We might have our disagreements but at the and of the day, we get things done.
man smart but women smarter
Exactly, a lot of Women is stepping up to the plate. If I was male, it would give me something to think about. I bet a Woman is going to be running the Country soon.
A woman was running the country for the last 8 years. Your memory short or wa.
I am so glad that frazer excluded that esteem crook
An esteemed traitor
The esteemed is a steaming pile of nothingness. Nothing to offer except old talk. He had to align himself with the green team because he is hoping for a job after elections. But I got news for him and Prankster Fraud Cloine, VIP not forming the Government and they will both go back to their usual ranting and trying to tear down anything Myron and NDP. They care nothing about the BVI.
Look how they sweating my big dog willock when the flag down he always ahead and the haters knowns it
Lol, lol, lol. Fraser give up the ghost…
All the best to you and PU. We welcome new ideas.
Great to see more women running for government and especially Verna. Rooting for you all the way cuz.
Women liberation time is here
Women of the BVI, there are enough of us that can make the change for a better BVI. 2019 is the year of the Woman and we are comming out full force. Verna girl,we got your back.
I am a little concern. These Women is not playing anymore. Understand,they may bicker, have their cat fights and throw blows but at the end of the day, they are going to regroup and handle S**t. The timid Women syndrome is OVER. There are to many of them comming out and taking their stand.
From the house to the HOUSE. Yes,yes,yes.
