The Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) has extended congratulations to newly installed Prime Minister of Grenada, Dickon Mitchell, and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on a resounding electoral victory.
In a statement last night (June 23), the PNP said that the NDC’s victory signals a “wind of change sweeping across the region”, after securing nine of the 15 electoral seats.
The NDC was declared winners of the general election in a stunning upset to incumbent Prime Minister Keith Mitchell, whose New National Party (NNP) previously held all 15 Grenadian seats.
“This victory breaks a two-term drought for the NDC and ushers in a new day for Grenada,” stated the PNP.
“Once again, the PNP congratulates our political sister party NDC and assures them of our continued support and fraternity,” the Opposition added.
Dickon Mitchell was sworn in on Friday as the ninth prime minister of Grenada, also becoming the youngest to do so at an age of 44.
