Ex HoA Speaker Ingrid A. Moses running for office @ 2023 Elections?
Moses has reportedly started house-to-house visits!
Moses, 52, has reportedly begun to do house-to-house visits to solicit support for her candidacy on the NDP slate.
Reports coming in from the East End area are that Moses, a lawyer, has been accompanied on her visits by Opposition Leader and NDP Member Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8), who has been introducing Ms Moses as an NDP candidate.
Our newsroom reached out to Hon Penn for confirmation on the reports; however, the third-term legislator did not respond to our requests.
‘Nothing to disclose at this time’- Moses
Moses only told our newsroom, “I have nothing to disclose at this time.”
It is yet unclear whether Moses will be contesting At Large or District; however, in 2018, during the campaign for the February 25, 2019 elections, the still serving speaker was announced by the NDP and the media as an At Large Candidate.
Many residents, civil society, and the media had expressed that it was a conflict of interest for Moses to still be presiding over the HoA as a political candidate.
In the end, she was not selected by the NDP to contest on their slate.
The Virgin Islands Party (VIP) would go on to sweep the 4 At Large seats.
Who will lead NDP into 2023 elections?
Meanwhile, Hon Penn has been appearing in public as the leader of the NDP; however, it remains unclear who is the official leader, given the former Chairman, Mr Myron V. Walwyn resigned following his heavy defeat at the polls in 2019 and, according to sources, there has not been another internal election to choose a new leader.
Hon Penn has stated publicly he is ready to be the next Premier of the Virgin Islands.
There are reports that there is division in the party as to who should lead the NDP into the next general elections.

Apart from serving in the capacity as Speaker of the House, she has not extend herself to the community. She has joined the list of the elitist that snob at the poorer class of people. How will she adjust herself to be humbled and improve the lives of the electorate. After her service as Speaker in the HOA she has not been seen because she was too great to be among the people. Now she is coming like Nicodemos in the bible where visits are done by night. I will not be fooled with chicken leg and Johnny cakes. I have dignity and will not bow down to her and her colleagues.
Can not wait to hear the stupid talk; when the blacks running all manner of Island man talk
the europeans will run and be elected right here in BVI: once your child born road town automatically a citzen
people try wake up: those europeans who owns trust companies here sees themselves as the backbone of our economy and pissed because they have no rights to vote: them children born here and can’t get passports(the COI will alter that
I don't see the Strength of a Powerful Woman of Values, Integrity and Advocacy in any of the present Females in the HOA or. In any of those making their Intentions of Running. We don't need no YES females or females who cannot hold a Ministerial Post.
