National Democratic Party Marches to Victory over the Incumbent Virgin Island Party after a pitched battle during the past few months.
by James J Gordon
The BVI Review
This was indeed the Mother of all Elections in the British Virgin Islands. Never before had there been such a battle between two dominant parties in the British Virgin Islands, no holds barred.
The National Democratic Party (NDP) faught on a platform offering new leadership for the 21st Century and promises to clean up corruption and Victimization.
The Virgin Islands party ran on a platform of experienced leadership and a vision to continue to build on the successes of the party under the leadership of Former Chief Minister H.L.Stout and Incumbent Hon. Ralph T. O'Neal.
The NDP's message struck a cord with both Young and old, particularly the Young, many of whom could be heard on election night saying we are taking our country Back and calling for audit of Government files before the new Administration takes over.
It was an electric Night for the Victorious but a sobering one for the loosing VIP candidates and supporters.
