Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell has called for an end to divisive politics and personal attacks as he begins his second consecutive term in office.
Mitchell made the appeal during his swearing-in ceremony on Sunday, November 8, at the Kirani James Athletics Stadium.
His National Democratic Congress (NDC) secured a decisive victory in the November 5 general election, winning 14 of the 15 parliamentary seats.
Addressing the nation, Mitchell said the election result reflected the people’s desire for progress and national development rather than political division.
He urged political leaders to concentrate on policies, ideas and practical solutions instead of personal attacks against their opponents.
The Prime Minister also emphasised that national development requires the participation of all citizens, including Grenadians living overseas.
Mitchell pledged to place the interests of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique first, while encouraging citizens to hold his administration accountable for its decisions and promises.
The second-term administration now faces the responsibility of delivering on its commitments, including improvements in healthcare, infrastructure, economic development and opportunities for young people.
