Grenada’s Parliament will be dissolved on Monday, paving the way for the island to hold elections on June 23rd, as announced by Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell over the weekend.

Prime Minister Mitchell has already signaled this would be his last election as leader of the New National Party.

Grenadians last went to the polls in 2018, where the NNP won a second consecutive clean sweep of all 15 seats.

“We said we will deliver and we did in fact deliver, sisters and brothers. We delivered to the public servants millions of dollars of increases after a period of getting not one cent. We delivered to the youths who had been cast away by re-investing in training and personal development,” PM Mitchell said.

PM Mitchell is the longest serving leader in Grenada history, having served as PM for a total of nearly 19 years. 

He was first elected as Prime Minister in 1995 and served until 2008, returning again in 2013 until present day.
