In a decisive victory on Thursday, Grenada’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) captured 14 of the 15 seats in the House of Representatives, according to results released by the Parliamentary Elections Office and reported by Xinhua and Caribbeannationalweekly.
The announcement came late Thursday evening, after the final vote counts were confirmed. Under the country’s first‑past‑the‑post system, the candidate with the most votes in each constituency wins, and a party needs at least eight seats for a majority.
Incumbent Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, who has led the NDC since the 2022 election, now faces a path to a second term. In that earlier contest the NDC won nine seats, enough to allow Mitchell to take office as prime minister.
A report from AP News indicated that Mitchell’s win represented more than 60% of the vote and that he defeated former foreign affairs minister Peter David. That page is currently unavailable, so the specifics remain unconfirmed by an accessible source.
The Caribbeannationalweekly headline confirms the NDC’s historic second consecutive triumph, emphasizing Mitchell’s leadership and the party’s strong electoral performance.
