HUNTUMS GHUT, Tortola, VI– Fifth District Candidate under the Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM) Marvin E. Blyden aka 'MB' has launched his 2023 elections campaign, urging the people of the Fifth Electoral District to elect him for improvements in areas such as water and infrastructure.

Speaking at his April 5, 2023, campaign launch at The Boys Gas Station in Huntums Ghut, Tortola, Mr Blyden said while he has had confidence in previous representatives, now is a time for a change in the Virgin Islands and the district.

“So what took me so long? The answer is simple. I had confidence and some result from previous candidates, result that not only benefited the people of the 5th District but also benefited the territory locally, regionally and internationally.

“To answer the question of why now, I will just say for now that our country is at a crossroads, and we need a team to make advancement for the benefit and interest of the residents of the 5th District and territory-wide.”

Meanwhile, Mr Blyden said he plans to remedy some of the woes in the district and territory including that of water, roads and infrastructure, which would bring an end to the dodging of potholes in the District.

Big plans for VI & District  

Mr Blyden also pushed plans for road safety, economic development, social services, cost of living support, sports, and community and youth development that are needed in the district and the VI.

He added that his experience as an entrepreneur is also one that will ensure government sectors are profitable rather than operating at a deficit. “Please, residents and supporters who are within the sound of my voice, I am telling you tonight, if you elect me, you will be in good hands,” he said.  

Mr Blyden added that there are needs for solutions in the VI which he and the PVIM will be able to provide once elected.

The incumbent Representative is Deputy Premier and Minister for Communications and Works Hon Kye M. Rymer of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP).

      His personal life should have nothing to do with this. He could only break up homes and families if someone in the dynamics allowed it and they were not solid in the first place.

    People! It is said " To whom much is given, much more is expected".
    MB, the bvi has given you much in support of business, positions to fill such as Festival head, and priviledges in your entreupernial tasks, yes you did extreemly good, and as we see , still doing.
    Now you are offering yourself in greater levels, . We could ask why you waited until we are so far beyond repair?
    But, we will give you our support and encouragement . Start rolling , we have your back. Continue to deal with the people. Campaign clean and you are a clear winner.. I'm not really dissing Mr Rhymer, just he is amongst so real evil ones.

    Marvin, you were FANTASTIC last night. I was so stinking happy to see you up on stage. Your district 5 is so fortunate to have you, a man of the soil who is decent, honest, hardworking and above all, KIND.

    For years, you have done things quietly for persons in your district and outside the district. You have given medication, money, water and many times for not a cent. All your businesses except one is in the 5th district. The only thing I am sad about is that I don't live in your district to vote for you. The PVIM really saved the best for last.

    MB don't the noise to distract from the real issued, from a heart of love for people, you spoke. Was very optimistic, offered solution. Just remain humble and allow God to use you. He did it for Moses who thought he was the wrong choice when chosen by God. Just stay focus and continue the good work from a heart of love and service for the people.

      People stop putting God name in middle of things He had no part in.

      Stop making your own choices/decisions then saying it’s God’s doing when you never consulted with God in the first place.

    Yes these personal attacks are despicable. The man spoke on the issues and offered solutions. He was nervous like most of us would be but did well. That’s why we will continue to suffer, because we are foolish people.
