Territorial At Large Representative Hon. Shereen Flax-Charles has resigned from the Virgin Islands Party.
The Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development made the announcement via a statement issued to the media on Sunday, February 12.
“It is known, I never abandon the job. So, let the question go answered. I am seeking re-election to continue the effort which has been entrusted to me. If it is the people’s will, I will continue to be their voice and champion, even if I stand alone,” she said in the statement.
“While I am grateful for both the triumphs and the obstacles which I encountered along the way, it is clear to me, that at this stage, I must part ways with the Virgin Islands Party. As of today, I have tendered my resignation,” she added.
Flax-Charles also paid respect to the members of her now-former party for the role they played in shaping her political career.
“I thank the congress and most importantly my colleagues in the House of Assembly for my introduction to this trial by fire. As imperfect as the circumstances may have been, we worked together to see much done and this is my great pride,” she stated.
