NDP reached out to me with a ‘definitive approach’ to rejoin party- Dr Pickering
Dr Pickering was at the time appearing as a guest on Honestly Speaking with Claude O. Skelton-Cline on ZBVI 780 AM on March 7, 2023.
“The reasons why I am with the NDP is very simple, the organisation reached out to me and said 'let’s have a conversation and see'… nobody else reached out to me the way they did.”
Dr Pickering added that the approach for him to rejoin the NDP was definitive and is still a work in progress; however, he will do his best to help the VI.
“And I will do my best to help my country from wherever I am placed, and I will do my best to help my organisation to win the seats that it is fighting to win,” he added.
Dynamic change in VI led to a shift to At Large - Dr Pickering
Meanwhile, Dr Pickering said he chose to contest as an At Large candidate rather than as a District 7 candidate due to a change in dynamics in the VI.
He added that running At Large will allow him to reach a wider audience and articulate the issues of the day, rather than having to campaign in the district and sticking to the issues of the district.
Dr Pickering said after doing some soul-searching and consulting with friends, he eventually made the decision to run At Large in the Virgin Islands, given he believes that he has the willingness to help the country and that issues are more complex.
He said he sees his absence from the House over the last four years as a sabbatical.
“The energy that I have now and the knowledge, based on my experience, and the analysis that I can do at this point in time, I can best help the country being a Territorial At Large representative,” he added.

Him, that former PS over on VG with that rich nutty man, and the last gouavana, r*****d the treasury through their rich friends and are now doing extremely well while the rest of us were left to suffer. Now he come chatting piddle. We need to check all their accounts locally and abroad, even in Switzlelaaany.
Just exit stage left. Kedrick Pickering is running with Myron who has been arrested for alleged corruption and may go to jail but crooks like you do not see a problem with that because you are the few who see who you are supporting as always innocent until proven guilty but see Fahie as guilty without no hope. We do not want to hear your double standard behind. You stop the noise.
