Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell has led the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to a historic second consecutive general election victory, capturing 14 of the country’s 15 parliamentary seats, according to provisional results.
The outcome marks the first time in the NDC’s political history that the party has secured back-to-back general election victories, strengthening its parliamentary majority following its return to office in 2022.
The NDC previously formed governments in 1990 and 2008 but was defeated at the subsequent general elections. Under Mitchell’s leadership, the party won nine seats in 2022 before increasing its representation to 14 in the latest polls.
The opposition New National Party (NNP) secured the remaining parliamentary seat, with Dr. Adrian Joseph retaining the St. George North West constituency.
The provisional results also show the NDC securing the largest share of the popular vote, polling 37,369 votes, representing 61 per cent of valid ballots cast. The NNP received 22,567 votes, or 36.84 per cent, while the Democratic People’s Movement (DPM) garnered 1,189 votes, representing 1.94 per cent.
The NDC’s lead over the NNP in the popular vote stood at 14,802 votes.
According to the figures, all 282 polling divisions reported, with voter turnout recorded at 63.3 per cent. A total of 61,460 ballots were cast from an electorate of 97,031 registered voters.
Of the ballots cast, 61,264 were deemed valid, while 196 were rejected. An additional 145 spoiled ballots were recorded separately. The five other political parties collectively received 139 votes.
The results remain provisional pending an official recount by the Parliamentary Elections Office.
The Associated Press also reported the NDC’s 14-seat victory, confirming that the party secured more than 60 per cent of the popular vote.
Mitchell’s latest victory gives the NDC another term in government and marks a significant milestone in Grenada’s political history.
