Grenada is entering the final days of campaigning ahead of its November 5 general election, with political parties making their final appeals to voters as the country prepares to elect a new Parliament.
The election will determine who governs the country for the next parliamentary term, with all 15 seats in the House of Representatives being contested.
Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell and his ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) are seeking to retain government, while the opposition New National Party (NNP), led by Emmalin Pierre, is hoping to return to office.
The Democratic People’s Movement (DPM), led by Peter David, is another political force participating in the election.
The contest comes at an important time for Grenada, with issues including the cost of living, employment, education, economic development and the delivery of public services featuring prominently in the political debate.
The November 5 election will also be closely watched by regional observers, given its potential implications for political leadership and governance in the Eastern Caribbean.
The NDC previously secured nine of the 15 parliamentary seats in the 2022 general election, while the NNP won six. The upcoming vote will determine whether the governing party can maintain its parliamentary advantage or whether opposition parties can change the political balance.
With campaigning nearing its conclusion, attention is now turning toward election day and the process of counting and declaring the results.
