D9 has ‘assured me they will give VIP a 2nd chance’- Hon Vincent O. Wheatley
Hon Wheatley made the disclosure at the official campaign launch of Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley in the Seventh District last night, Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
“And they four years ago saw it fit to put their confidence in me and Team VIP.
“It has been a very challenging four years but Premier they have assured me that they fully understand that we didn’t get to accomplish all that we wanted to do because of various circumstances,” Hon Wheatley stated at the Stickit in Long Look.
The incumbent is being challenged for the D9 seat by National Democratic Party (NDP) candidate Coy W. Levons and Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM) candidate Hon Shereen D. Flax-Charles, an At Large Representative who defected from the VIP and is now an opponent of Hon Wheatley.
‘Don’t mind the noise’
“And they have assured me that they will give VIP, not might, that they will give VIP a second chance.
“From Anegada, Valley, North Sound, they have said to me ‘don’t mind the noise, we get it, we understand it, we know what you went through’, they said to me ‘it would be unfair to stop this now, what you have started. You didn’t get a good run, but we will give you a second chance’, but Premier we have work to do.
“They have said to me, we have work to do and that we are prepared to do.”
Hon Wheatley, in endorsing Premier Wheatley, said the incumbent D7 Representative has been tried and tested and has proven himself as a leader and deserves a second chance.
Premier Wheatley is being challenged in D7 by former Water and Sewerage boss Perline R. Scatliffe-Leonard.

By having all these horse in every gate, it almost assured the incumbent VIP of winning. The other horses split the non VIP votes, while the VIP faithful will vote VIP all the way. Half of those newcomers and independents need to drop out the race and put country above themselves in a real way. They need to sacrifice themselves if they truly want a change!
Therefore, I urge all to move beyond personality and uninformed judgemental conclusions, seek and dwelve into the facts, draw informed conclusions, and give the Hon. Lady the job to continue putting her vision for the territory and its people into action.
Her political feet are now wet, they are now firmly on the ground, her political sensibilities have matured, and those realities have placed her in a greater position to skillfully undertake and execute her duties for and benefit the country and all of us.
We will never know how good she is or well meaning she intends to be if she is not given the opportunity to work for us.
That being the case, it is believed that the Hon. lady will sincerely strive to bring about what she has stated, for the youths, the people and the territory at large.
Hence, let us give the Hon. lady the opportunity to prove her worth by us once more, for and with us.
