No e;ection for Grenada in 2025, says Prime Minister

Grenada citizens will not head to the polls in 2025, as Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell has confirmed that his government has no plans to call an election that year.

Addressing the Lower House during its adjournment on December 18, Mitchell emphasized that his administration, elected in June 2022, is still in the early stages of its work. “There is no election that will be called in Grenada in 2025. There are lots of elections taking place in the region—Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, The Bahamas. St. Lucia follows the year after, assuming everyone goes their full term,” Mitchell said. “But we are only now getting started.”

The Prime Minister assured the public that his National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has more initiatives in store for the country, adding, “You ain’t see nothing yet.” Under Grenada’s Constitution, the next general election must be held no later than October 2027, giving the Prime Minister the authority to dissolve Parliament and set an election date at any time before then. The NDC will mark three years in office in 2025, halfway through its potential term.
