Walwyn chided for not strengthening NDP
Myron Walwyn
A resident who called the National Democratic Party’s (NDP) radio show has criticised Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn for failing to “strengthen the party”, raising fresh questions about the legislator’s political loyalty ahead of the next general election.
During a recent broadcast, the caller directly questioned whether Walwyn remained a member of the NDP.
“Could you tell me and the listeners if Mr. Walwyn is with the party?” the caller asked.
Second District Representative Melvin “Mitch” Turnbull responded: “Caller, the answer to that question is, he is. He is still a member of the National Democratic Party. Honourable Myron Walwyn is.”
However, the caller expressed dissatisfaction with Walwyn’s perceived lack of commitment to the party.
“Something I don’t like is that he’s not strengthening the party to me. A man with his intelligence to me should have been more upfront with the party,” the caller argued.
The caller also compared Walwyn’s political posture to that of Third District Representative Julian Fraser, suggesting he could be relying on the strong support of his district to get re-elected and may decide on his political allegiance after the election.
“To me he is behaving something like Mr [Julian] Fraser. He knows his people are gonna put him in and when he gets in, he’ll decide what he wants to be in the party. I don’t like that kind of thing, I like to know what I’m supporting,” the caller added.
Notably, while Turnbull addressed the question, the other NDP members on the programme remained silent, merely nodding in agreement as he responded.
The exchange comes amid Walwyn’s noticeable absence from NDP radio broadcasts in recent months and growing speculation that he could align himself with Mark Vanterpool’s Progressive Leadership Movement (PLM) ahead of the elections.
Rumours of a possible switch have been fuelled by perceptions that many top-ranking officials of the NDP lack confidence in the NDP’s current leadership.

The NDP has done everything possible to keep this man down but yet waiting on him to strengthen their party? These people think we have short memories? Bishop Cline always criticized Myron when he was leader of the opposition even accusing him of badgering the Premier. Now because he wants to run at large he want the same Myron to come badger to help him get elected? Ronnie Skelton always remind Myron that his family isn’t from here. Ronnie and Marlon didn’t support the vote of no confidence because Myron was the leader of the opposition and they would never attend the press conferences because the son of island people was the leader. And now they waiting on the same person they treated like s**t to come strengthen their party? The NDP had a bogus and rigged election to keep out Mark and Myron. Mark formed his party and now Myron must come strengthen NDP? These people crazy or something? I can’t tell Myron what to do but I wasn’t going anywhere near those people.
We all know is the NDP that setup that person to call to force Myron to help them. It is plain and obvious.
The stone that the builder refuse. They know they can’t win without him so now they using tactics to get him back with them.
NDP is a set of users. Don’t study them Myron. Run independent before you help them. They don’t like you.
The same way they didn’t show up for the vote of no confidence when they were needed to defend the people, the same I wouldn’t show up either Myron now that they need you for them to get back the government.
Myron is selfish about Myron only!!! He cares not for we the people, he going with mark he can’t be trusted
Wasn’t it the NDP who showed they didn’t care about the people when they refused to support the vote of no confidence because Myron was the person who brought it? The people were suffering and out of hatred for the same Myron who they want now they did nothing to help.
Who are the snakes? Who are the selfish ones?
You all only want to recognize his intelligence and ability when it is convenient to you. Isn’t he still an island man as you all call him? You divisive people didn’t realize that you would still need him? Which ever way Hon. Walwyn goes I will support him. Have you seen what they tried to do to the Senator elect, Dr. Abdul El Sayed in Michigan? He still won his seat victoriously, and so will it be for Hon. Walwyn!!
Look beyond stupid labels and chose the people who are capable to govern us, or we would forever be in the mess we are in right now.
The party choose someone who can’t lead them to victory as leader… I don’t blame him let the chairman be their strength
Sit back with your popcorn and gloat. Not man’s plan but God’s plan.
Each delegate had one vote. Did anyone speak with the delegates to find out what the problem was? Clearly Myron might have win if at least 4 members or so from district 2 had voted for him. Clearly the delegates were split with regards who they wanted as deputy. Finally clearly fur chairman the delegates were not sure folks would chose Ronnie over Mark so clearly they chose who they felt would give mark a gone run. Mark needs to go sit down. Let him go meet corner lady. He took here there.
Everybody say that NDP election was rigged so stop trying to cover up the cover up.
The same man that you all mercilessly tear down, you now want him to strengthen you?
D*mned if he do, D*mned if he dont! leave this man alone. Wally, Keep FARRRRRR From all of them!
Ayo cant see that the man has one foot in and one foot out?
So, what we are saying is that the indigenous local boys now see some value in the island man and want him to step forward? Can someone please shine some light for me and confirm this?
What happen to the leader and the deputy leader of the NDP. Shouldn’t they be the strength of the party? So NDP voted for the two weaklings and now bawling out for the one they worked hard to keep out to come help strengthen them. SMH
We in a bad site in the BVI. Myron, meh son you have a strong back. Your parents came to the BVI for a better living and our God grant them a son in this beautiful country. Your mom died and you had to migrant to your mom’s country to continue your education. This young man loves his country so much and came back to give back all the experience and foundation he got. On his arrival he got into politics and started the most vibrant youth arm this country has ever seen which resulted in VI Government. This is from what I gathered and seen. I could be wrong he did not like what was happening in VI Government, and he crosses the floor because his focus was for the betterment of his country. I saw this man revolute the Education system. (No child was lift behind) Scholarships, Entrepreneur etc. I saw children from all ages dress in their nation dresses with their head up high and the hands at their side singing “Oh Beautiful British Virgin Islands”. We have lost our pride from since that Minister left the scene. We are seeing children dressing any how to go to school, disrespectful, one school, and we can’t get them in preparation for work world. Where is our national pride
He runs for Premiership and he was not successful. The people have spoken and he accepted the results. Many of us reading this blog know in your heart that he was capable and we came together and rejected him because of selfishness and jealousy. He is thankful that his district has embraced him with a resounding victory and the man decided to take care of his district and they appreciate him greatly because they saw the good in him. We are now at our crossroad that the people that you elected to be the leaders of the party are not getting the support needed to get the ball rolling. It is not where your parents are from and “Leadership Matter” to get the ball rolling. All over the world now in election the people who are winning are children of Expats. Let the Leaders lead and get the party running because what I am seeing they are very weak. This party should have been on the ball running since election and another election is coming and nothing substantial. Question to naysayers what you have done for your country lately. Our country is dirty. Each of us need to get up off our behinds and take care of our surroundings. Clean our yard and surrounding, love one another no matter where they are from, (that is the passport to heaven) seek God’s face, turn from our wicket ways and then he will listen and healed our lands. Our land needs healing the signs are all around us. No rain, citrus fruits are dying, robberies, our children comfortable in our homes on Sunday playing games and not going to church. Love of the world more than God. Killing ourselves in politics instead winning souls for the lost. Helping the need. Mr. Walwyn continue to take care of your district. I know sometimes you ask yourself what you have done to these people. You have done nothing. It is because your parents are not from here. God born you here and it is for a reason. Stay humble and continue take care of yourself, family and district. Our God will take care of you.
After the way this man was treated I agree with his posture
THE STONE THAT THE BUILDER REFUSE. MYRON DO NOT STUDY THEM. LET THEM GO KICK ROCKS MYRON
What Marlon needs to do is give Walwyn choices to make. We are wondering if their constitution is what’s weak; the same one ball head knowns about. NDP get that constitution fixed now.
“When people show you who they are- believe them.” You are destined to the Premiership of Our Virgin Island (British). You can forgive, but you should never forget how you have been treated. However make sure to hold no grudges. This path can be delayed, but will not be denied.
This has been governed by your unrelenting fate in which you have exhibited throughout it all. All we asked, don’t forget your solid foundation, as a young man, as a family man, as a father, as a businessman, as a lawyer, and as a politician.
Conversely, the NDP party is not your final destination. You owe them no loyalty. Rely on your intense but necessary training you have received in the University of the Virgin Islands (British), that has made you who are are today. Embrace the “wholeness” of it all, and move with wisdom.
Run Hon Walwyn RUN!!!! and dont look back!!! Let the Great Marlon Ronnie Mitch and whomever else strengthen them show. We the people in the 6th District loyal to you and you no dis!!!! Stop dragging your foot make the move NOW!!!! Run leave them Judases battle them own canoe!!! RUN RUN RUN and dont look back!!! They ALL showed you they not for you, play the fool to the fool who think they fooling you and RUN Minister RUN!!
@Sir,Hon, Myron V. Walwyn,
Why not? It’s inevitable, he has endure it all. He still need a team to work with, if given the opportunity. He should start to align and familiarize himself with the ideology and visionary mindset of Ronnie Skelton, Mark Vanterpool, Lesmore Smith, Zoe Walcott, Stacey Mather, Melvin Turnbull, Guy Hill, and Shereen Flax to name a few. And start to work on common grounds. There should be no excuse nor delays to form the next government. Our future depends on it. The VIP Party had their chance and blew it.
Marlion set up that caller to call you. He looking people to use he weak backside. So let me ask what has Marlon strengthen the party yet? Let me guess the answer. No it Myron fault suuurrre riiigghht? Word of advice Myron please a beg run run run don’t look back at NDP. the people should do the same.
