The 2003 general election was held in the British Virgin Islands on 16 June 2003. It was won by the opposition National Democratic Party (NDP) which took 54.4% of the vote and 8 of the 13 available seats on the Legislative Council. After the election the NDP formed a Government for the first time in its history. Both major parties – the NDP and the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) actually increased their share of the overall vote at the expense of minority parties and independents.
