Walwyn noticeably missing from NDP radio show
Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn has been noticeably absent from the public activities of the National Democratic Party (NDP) since losing the party’s leadership race earlier this year, adding fuel to questions about his political alignment.
Walwyn, who previously served as Opposition Leader, has not appeared on any recent airing of the NDP’s revived radio programme, which was recently revived as the party attempts to rally supporters ahead of the anticipated polls.
The programme has featured several prominent party figures and supporters, including Third District hopeful Aaron Parillon, Second District Representative Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull, former legislator Shereen Flax-Charles, NDP chairman Marlon Penn and former NDP president Bishop John Cline.
Walwyn’s absence is particularly noticeable as he remains highly visible within the Sixth District, where he continues to spearhead and support community initiatives. The development comes amid persistent speculation that Walwyn could be among high-profile NDP members who may eventually align themselves with former legislator Mark Vanterpool’s Progressive Liberal Movement (PLM), amid rumours that some NDP members continue to doubt Penn’s leadership.
The NDP has been plagued by internal factions for several years, with disagreements over leadership and direction repeatedly spilling into the public domain. The April 2026 internal leadership contest, which saw Penn emerge as party leader, again exposed divisions within the organisation.
In the meantime, no official statement has been made by Walwyn on his political alignment ahead of the next election. Recently, when asked whether Turnbull and Walwyn were still part of the NDP, Penn gave a brief “yes” without giving details.

NDP delegates voted against the wider NDP’s will. Even though they had time to correct their error they turned a blind eye to the wider NDP’S cry. The carts just cannot lead the horses,simple.
Because Marlon cooked the delegates list. Now they bawling out for help for him. Set ah jokers
How do you cook a list with people working in the groups for almost 3 years. Do you think those who remained and those who joined should have waited playing with their thumbs for others to go back? Nonsense. Tell Marko especially him to get off his horse with his entitlement shit. And where he getting all this money from all of a sudden Again dishing out to candidates to make sure they win it is claimed. Take the money and vote him out. Might as well district 4 keep Luce because at least she don’t sell out this country. Many of us are tired of this nonsense. What does he want this time? Bringing sande will not work either because the silent sees the plan and we will address it at the boils. But bring the pay out money come because we will take everything and vote you all out; our country must heal
You self help to rig the list from how you going on.
The real NDP supporters that showed up to vote knew off the bat that something was wrong as hardly any of them knew the people in the room. The NDP would never vote for Marlon and Mitch as leaders in its true form, anybody with common sense knows this.
Why you all don’t leave this man alone in peace. Myron is the best political representative we have in House of Assembly. He is one person who you could see really works for his district people. Some of you try everything to keep him down because his family background is not from here and now the man taking a back seat it is still a problem. What y’all want from this man buddy? Other people who are far less competent than Myron have been chosen to lead so let them lead. Give the man a break.
Ronnie has been missing from the same show but it look like you all only have strength for Myron. He right not to go. When Ronnie and Marlon wasn’t attending press conferences and didn’t support the vote of no confidence when Myron was opposition leader you didn’t hear a word but now Myron ain’t on a show it’s a big thing.
The only viable path to victory is to join the PLM , if you are a Skelton and Walwyn supporter that has their ear you must talk some sense into both. Thee would both have Ministries and one even possibly Deputy.This is Hon. SKelton’s last lap and he must think like Hon. Fraser (essentiall that I didnt make Premier but still going out on a high note) Vanterpool is strategic and will place them is a position that would make the PLM successful. But time is running out, if they make the jump too late it will be seen as desperate and not strategic. I think the public understand that the other parties just dont have the organization , acumen or credibilty to lead on day 1 but with Skelton and Walwyn PLM would.
Ronnie would never ever good with Mark even if he’s the better option. Ronnie and Eileen them (God rest her soul) were some of the ones spreading that island man nonsense with Mark and Myron, they don’t want Mark or Myron to be Premier.
Myron continue to concentrate on your district that should be your first priority. The NDP don’t like you because of your heritage. They show you over and over again. Even the VIP government is the sane way. They left you out of the constitutional discussions when you are the most qualified member of the parliament to be on it. They don’t love country. Work on your district and decide what you do afterwards.
Who in NDP does not like Myron? You all need to stop it. But keep it up; a bigger judgement coming.
There were 4 people on the show -Aaron, Shereen, Marlon and Mitch. Why Myron being absent is a problem? I know NDP can’t win without Myron and they must know it to
The 6 district elected him to lead. not the NDP!
Why don’t he take the chance and go PLM? We dare him leave the NDP nests. We want to see his commitment soon too. Out there like a straggling child looking mischief. Please get back in the fold. So you all know where Myron is. So is Shack. Where shack is we are seeing Mark. Shack is there to split up votes. Who paying shack nomination fee? Yep; Mark. He paying Forbes own too. Where Mark getting this money from? We don’t want Luce but we don’t want anybody who rejected the 4th district either.
Ronnie and Marlon were noticeably absent from press conferences and the vote of no confidence when Myron was leader of the opposition. He is right. Don’t study them @$$
Marlon rigged the election to win and now everybody must come help him do the work? He want to be leader so let him be leader. Once he is on NDP radio it should not matter if Myron is not there. Unless they know which they know that Myron is important to the party winning elections. I with Myron. Let them run them thing and stay in the background
Myron right. Mehson study your district and work hard to satisfy your people. Marlon want NDP leadership let he go with it.
Leave Myron alone, yal dont wanna hear wat he has to say when he speaking out, he quiet now ayo still ain happy, leave the man be!
Funny man shame that Mitch beat he, I just happy he would not be premier as that position is for a local
Wiggy we know it is you. We can’t wait for Aaron to embarrass you in the election. Maybe then you would get the hint that nobody want you.
Both Roger and Tito gonna take away votes from Aaron resulting in a Wiggy victory.
Parillon should have jumped ship when Marlon Oenn Dissed him publicly about NDP not having any one for the 3rd. MARK PUSH STRONGER THAN DAT PENN
Lots more than Aaron will embarrass his out-of-place behind. Kust mek he take the stage. Why did government release him? Or ask him to gracefully leave. But yet looking to regain access through the political way. Don’t we have laws that protect us from the likes? Imagine you can’t get a public service posts but can enter back to the public service from the political side. We must be a joke.
What nationality ia your current premier… wouldn’t u rather someone who was born here over someone who was born where they have option to run back to..m plus wasnt Myron wife part of reason u giys didnt want him. Where is current premier wife from???? Hmm. Set a hypocrites in this place… rather choose tradition over progress
You sound like a real fool. Myron was born and raised in Tortola. Natalio was born in Puerto Rico. The last Premier was indigenous as you all like to stupidly say yet he sold out the country to drug lords. Now this one has the whole country in a mess. I cry a river for my BVI. If this how our mindset is then the BVI will continue to fall.
why you all on cindy? here hair is real it’s not a wig they are call extensions
@,,juice, you call yourself juice, who funny, what is your problem? Is it because Myron ain’t funny with you?
Myrun is going with the PLM……Both he and Lehvons
Myron keep up the good works in your district. Whoever run against you would not win. It don’t make no sense nobody come
Myron is doing the right thing after all he is human, when his same party member and now leader of NDP plotted with VIP to undermine him all during the no confidence vote against natalio Wheatley , that same Marlon go watch the kangaroos in Australia and on the second occasion he sat in his car and don’t attend HOA, and Ronnie and bishop cline and Claude convince Stacy to break up their group to prevent Myron from forging ahead by requesting the governor investigate the $5 million USD to bank of Asia and also to prevent Myron from.going to London on the UK constitutional talks, because in truth and in fact they fooling the people about constitutional talks when it is basically them going to look about more power for the premier and Myron would not ever allow his conscience to betray the BVI people, so Marlon and cline and natalio form a closely family nit club as part of the constitutional team, and Marlon would in turn gets the power of opposition leader, now as we can see a lesser amount of money like $2.5 million USD gone to a Jamaican company, Marlon want investigation because he think he is close to the seat of power, and even so he is not calling for a proper investigation as Myron had called for as opposition leader, because he can’t rock the cradle because he is part of the family entitlement indeginous elites club and has a prestigious appointment to go on constitutional talks of which most of them not qualified in legal training, Myron would have been one politician with legal training to help beside the independent legal personnel the government appointed, do you know what it is for someone to make a BVI citizen by birth a non grata and called foreigner when none of us call white people foreigners? This man Myron made himself an upstanding modeled citizen and grasp the academic opportunity to make himself prepare to help build the BVI, and people lesser committed and qualified is fighting him down. If I was Myron I stay far from them, what they want Myron to come over and give them wings to fly to power, no Myron wants to give the BVI people wings of empowerment.
@El Dread – what a fancy tale you weaved without any factual evidence and just more hearsay and nonsense to confuse the simps. Myron is a very polarizing figure just like Willock is. Myron was a VIP long before he was an NDP and history has shown that he is not as welcomed in NDP1 or any NDP reboot. Ronnie would not join PLM under any circumstances as he knows what Mark is all about and would not risk this maniac on the territory again!! Mark however has helped bail out certain persons failing businesses and therefore is owed by them!
So if one candidate is beholding to another what does that say for the country when critical decisions have to be voted on?!? For all the rave reviews on the D6 candidate, he cannot seem to get anyone to coalesce around him. He was always an NDP even when he had the upper hand with Turnbull and Mather aligning with him. When Ronnie and JC dissolved PVIM; Myron was still an NDP. He hedges himself regardless until absolutely sure he can untimately benefit and humbug the rest! This is what I truly see behind his mask.
PLM is a mixed up party and their ‘leader’ is not trustworthy, for the people and unstable. Btw, all the advantages MW has had have turned into mush because of his visible lack of real leadership qualities.
If walyn was the head of ndp them was getting my vote
Now I ain got no vote to give so I’ll just for anything that can upset the current political landscape
So all the weird choices that popped up recently I will spitefully vote for just to upset the plans and schemes of all the wicked greedy politicians
Travelling every other day while the country cost of living continue to raise. While power cutting off for a little bit of rain but bills increasing while quality of service remains poor. While water cutting off and raising the price for something that was poorly maintained that our tax was paying for
I waiting for public health and eshs to come forward and tell the public wa really going with them young girls and the school and bring to light about what the men (especially those who wear Gucci chains in them pics) doing.
Also the men outside of the school who got sti/hiv to spread. I can’t feel sorry for who ever young girl get catch. Your parents fail you smf decided to play with fire so fire will have to teach you.
Don’t forget the last news from public health “transactional” sex between young adolescents and adults.
Y’all raise a culture on sex and not raising your kids with self respect and morals and the predator’s and criminals having a feast off of y’all ignorance
If y’all find out the young girls who look so innocent with good grades getting caught up in
If y’all find out all that men who are regular offender’s allowed to work in those schools and the men who regularly have to interact with students still operating in those sensitive areas…
We seriously need a sex offender list
If y’all know wa really going on and see the culprits deeply involved in predatory behavior y’all would guarantee march!!
Mika Barry we need you ASAP. Just focus on the predators in this country!
Whoever promises a sex offender list will get my vote this election!!!
This election will be very interesting. There will be some key players and Myron will be one. Myron regardless of whether you like him or not is one of the better legislators and representatives that we have. He is an intelligent man and his voice is trusted. Whoever has him this election will be a force to be reckoned with. It must be a hard decision for him because we saw how Marlon and Skelton acted when he was leader of the opposition not because of his competence but because he has expat parents. The VIP behaves the same way. However Mark Vanterpool is unstable in my opinion and that family seems to only care about themselves. Myron my advice is to keep silent, work on your district like you do and make a decision at the right time that is best for your district and for you. That’s all I could say.
Marlon and Mitch who are the two leaders that the NDP voters voted for from the rigged list. What they harassing Myron for now? They wanted position now they get it but nobody respect either one of them. The NDP will not win with Marlon and Mitch. If it was Marlon and Myron it would have been much better for them. Myron you sit back and let them do what they want. Work with your district to secure your seat.
District 6 is desperate and crazy if you ask me for on here spewing how wonderful Myron Walwyn is. He is a loose cannon and has no idea what he wants other than power by any means necessary. Yes, he will pander to District 6’s needs because you are his ticket to win the election. But trust me, he deserves whatever he got when those NDP votees were cast. Mitch who beat his behind was PVIM. He was Marlon’s second and no one, and I mean no one asked him to reach over to PVIM and grab Mitch and Mather from over there. He was trying to send a message to Ronnie and Marlon that he has persons with him and therefore he deserve to lead. Instead, he got a kick in the nose. Like the young people would say, auh good for him. Want all gets none. He is impatient and silly when it comes to power and therefore cannot be trusted to run this country. That bald head would be blown so big no telling what he would do. All he is is a good talker, but strategist and business man, no. If I was Ronnie and Marlon I would not have supported him in any vote. He needs to humble himself. Hopefully that’s what he’s doing and why he is so quiet. Hard ttruth is the break up of NDP and PVIM is all his FAULT.
Myron is a loose cannon you say? You better shut the hole in your face if you don’t know what to say. You are trying to bring down Myron to make others feel good about their insecurities. Myron is an aggressive, get things done person. If you can’t take that go kick rocks. Sowande and his gang could not be more happier that he is not the opposition leader because their tails would have been on fire for all the nonsense happening in the place now. Marlon is opposition leader and they all feel comfortable to go to India on vacation. You keep off Myron. We in the 6th district very pleased with him. He is the best one of all of them in there. Come back talking more crap see if we don’t back you up off of him.
You drunk or something? The break up of NDP and PVIM is Myron’s fault? Myron win NDP elections against Ronnie and Ronnie went to form his own party cause he lose and that is Myron’s fault. Mark went to form his own party and now some of the same people who left NDP to follow Ronnie cursing Mark for doing the same thing. You ain’t see Ayo is one set ah crazy people???? Myron leave NDP alone I beg you. This person who post is from the NDP. They ain’t have no sense and they badminded. Leave them with their dead, wash up party that ain’t going no where. Nobody studying Marlon, Mitch or the NDP.
Since them say you is a loose cannon show them how loose you is and join PLM let them Shiite them self cuz NDP can’t win without you with them.
I done see the same problem of power struggle that will put Sowande right back in as Premier. That will happen next election as happen in last election.
The NDP failed from the time they elected/ selected marlin and Mitch as their leaders . Myron is correct, why should you follow a leader who is not qualified to lead and you yourself is 1000 times more qualified than him to lead the party and the country.
I’m not in Myron district but I like myron. He is a good person and an excellent politician. Andrew brain washed the people about this island man stupidness. The man born here , play marble with us here , climb mango tree with us here went to schools here with us so how he is an island man.
Walwyn missing SO WHAT?
@ I like. We are all island men and island women.
We are all from different islands in the Caribbean Sea. Please stop and don’t allow foolishness and ignorance take over. We need to just stop with this damn BS now mehn..
Well, I hope he jumping ship because truth be told, whether MW stick with NDP or not, oy is not voting for no NDP. Marlon is NOT my choice for premier and Mitch is NOT my choice for deputy premier. These are NOT the voices I want to hear when I tune in to the news to listen to the latest in the territory at the end of a stressful day. Whoever voted for them internally need to ask themselves a question and take several seats. Knowingly voting for dead weight? For who to vote for? Well oy never see more. I voting for whatever party have MW and MV on the same team AS LONG AS there is no Marlon or Mitch or whosoever else fall in that category.
MV say he bringing a full slate of fresh candidates to the new party. Choose the right people and you have my vote ALL THE WAY! As long as MW is in that circle.
I’m in the 6th. If Myron goes with MARK he loosing my votes. I am not helping him get close to that Premier position while I love Myron to death. Best he run independent.
If you trust him so much then wouldnt you want to see him as deputy. That way he can keep his eye on whoever you dont trust. Getting things done is about compromises.
Boyyy, this one rough. I don’t know what to tell you. The next best thing is for Myron to start his own party because how much can he get done as an independent. He is a leader and he needs to lead. You have a point about not trusting MV at the head. Someone say Myron can monitor as deputy. The things is, Myron is supposed to lead. He suppose to form his party and put all his members together. It rough. I don’t think he should lose your vote with whatever he decides. This country needs him in at whatever costs. Think about it, a House of Assembly with no Myron? We cannot allow that. It rough.
Myron had 18 months to form a party and had 2 other elected officials with him and he FAILED. His businesses are FAILING. Mark came and within 2 months he had a headquarters, launch, party name, logo, members and now a few months later he has candidates and will have a slate to be reckoned with. Talk is cheap, Myron’s record is one of failure. Failed to get a full NDP slate in 2019, failed to even secure his own seat despite being the most popular candidate, failed as leader of opposition after wrestling it from Ronnie, failed at Alliance nonsense which was a dud from the start. Let the records show that Myron is the one that’s a failure and loose cannon not Mark.
No, MW did not have 18 months to form his own party. He was focused on serving his district, serving as an opposition member of the party he chose to be loyal to and serving as leader of the opposition even during a controversial period where other members turned to him because of their lack of confidence in the leader of their own party. They turned to MW. Of everyone else. MW has succeeded in all the areas he has served. He has been the strongest and most successful in questioning the government in the house. He has acted with grace, with skill and with decorum. His constituents trust and respect him. Not because someone says he has failed in a blog online, makes it true. MV was able to do what he did because he has no district to serve, no active role on the opposition to prepare for when facing HOA sessions every week and no homophobic rants asking him where his mother born. I do not recall anyone asking Mark in the HOA where his mother born. The lack of homophobia towards MV does not make him a winner. On the contrary, for the things MW has accomplished, despite the sick homophobic culture he has faced inside the government and inside his own party. that makes him a winner every day.
Island man this vs native that – all B$ or whatever CSc tryna coin as his own ain’t finna work anymore on the sheep around here.
Some real idiats want to try all kinda subterfuge but they ain’t aware of certain vibrations. All the P’s that struggling for power and poppin’ up line Whack-A-Mole; ayo for real? Gas prices rising with no end in sight yet the power hungry silent cause theirs covered. Who gives a hoot about whom is party leader when they can’t get along you all expect those same ones to do anything different than currently? P O W E R think about that!!
So wiggie you got another new name for September ( hallelujah) all you do is spew out hatred & evilness with your duplicitous and narcissistic narratives at this man which is exposing your subtifuge mentality on people you envy , is this the way you get groove on by disrespecting yourself and making the people of the territory and making us look bad in the process / all hippos love love mud, you should of stayed there . we hope the people in the 3rd district is paying attention to your dirty gutter mentality and distance themselves from you and people like you . They deserve someone with integrity. you ain’t got that kinda of Quality.
I wish Aaron join PLM 4 da 3rd
Myron’s cult can’t seem to understand that a leader needs ppl to follow them. And if you cannot work with anyone or if only your thoughts and ideas are valuable and unrebukeable then who can work with you? Leadership requires relationship management. You cant undermine everybody then still expect them to follow you. A man on horse carriage is leading the carriage even though they arent in front. I think Myron is in a good position for the elections and will be the most valuable free agent. I dont think he has loyalty to any party either, so he is the free agent and the bidding will determine where he goes after the ballots are counted. I don’t think that any of this preflop party drama matters. The public will vote who they like and then the VIP will try to win the election by the art of the deal. Myron could very well become deputy premier of the VIP govt or the NDP or PLM govt. That is his strategy I’m sure.
They are bashing Myron Walwyn with the island man bull nonsense but how many are married to island man and woman or have them as on the side concubines and play thing. Stop playing games.
