 Elections in the British Virgin Islands are held approximately every four years, with a unicameral House of Assembly of 13 members (11 members elected by popular vote, plus the Speaker appointed by the House and the Attorney General).The current Premier is Andrew Fahie who is a member of the ruling Virgin Islands Party, and the current Governor is Augustus Jaspert.Although ultimate executive authority rests with the British Monarch exercising her powers through the Governor, the Territory is internally self-governing, and in practice Ministerial Government is exercised on a day-to-day basis by the Premier through Cabinet (although the Governor also sits in Cabinet).
