In a decisive outcome announced Thursday evening, Grenada’s ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), headed by Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, secured 14 of the 15 seats in the House of Representatives, according to a release by the country’s Parliamentary Elections Office reported by Xinhua. The result grants Mitchell a landslide victory that paves the way for a second term as prime minister.
Election Details
The general election was held under Grenada’s first‑past‑the‑post electoral system, in which each constituency elects one representative who receives the highest number of votes. A party needs at least eight seats to win a majority of the 15‑seat chamber, a threshold achieved by the NDC with an overwhelming margin.
In the previous 2022 election, the NDC had won nine seats, enough to place President Mitchell in the premiership. The 2026 victory is described by the Caribbean National Weekly as a “historic second consecutive election win” for Mitchell’s party.
While the Associated Press article titled “Prime minister of Grenada secures a second term” was reported to be unavailable at the time of this coverage, the official announcement and supporting media confirm the outcome. No unverified claims have been reported on the election results.
