Is A Change In VIP Leadership About To Take Place?

In reaching this decision Party Chairman Ralph T. O'Neal Had to rely upon Article 7 Section 8: "Election of officers to the Executive Committee conducted no later than three months after a general election to the Virgin Islands Legislature if the party is un-succesful in forming the government. All members of the Party in good standing shall be eligible for Election or Re-Election to the Executive Committee. Nominations and Election, (in accordance with the constitution), to fill any Executive Committee Position becoming vacant, intra-term, shall be conducted and concluded at the next duly convened Executive Committee Meeting or as soon as  practical thereafter".

And Further, exercise his powers under Article 6 Section 8: "There shall be held a Special Convention of the Party on the request in writing of 2/3 of the delegates who qualified in the preceding VIP National Convention and are thus entitled to attend and vote thereafter, or upon the express desire of the Chairman, or if so decided by the Executive Committee provided 

        a) Each such request to hold a Special Convention shall be communicated to the VIP Secretary and shall specify the reason or reasons for requiring the same. The reason or reasons for which the Special Convention is called shall be the only item(s) on the agenda.

In being specific as to the cause of the Special Convention, the Chairman also relied upon the provisions of Article 6 Section 7 (e):  "Conduct Elections of Officers of the Executive Committee, in accordance with the By-Laws, as follows:
Chairman
President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer
Public
Relations Officier
VIP Tribunal

The Media Has Done Much In The Way Of Speculation As To What And How The Virgin Islands Party Will React To The News That The Chairman Has Finally Decided To Call A Special Convention In Exercise Of His Powers Under The Party's Constitution.
