ST GEORGE’S, Grenada: According to unofficial reports, Grenada’s opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC) has won 11 out of the 15 parliamentary seats at stake in Tuesday’s general election, thus ending 13 years of rule by the New National Party (NNP).
The election campaign was marked by allegations of negative campaigning by the NNP and also accusations that the incumbent party had improperly used Grenada’s New York Consular Office for electioneering purposes.
In a statement published on its website on Tuesday night, the NDC said it wishes to thank the people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique for their vote of confidence in the party.
"Our Leader Tillman Thomas and the entire NDC team pledge to fulfill our promises to you and restore the good image and name of the nation," the statement said. |
