Citysound Newsroom | Updated 9 November 2026

Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell was sworn in for a second consecutive term on Sunday, 8 November, during Grenada’s 10th prime ministerial inauguration at Kirani James Athletic Stadium in St George’s.

In his address, Mitchell called for national unity, political maturity and public accountability. He pledged to put the interests of the people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique first and encouraged citizens to hold the administration responsible when it falls short.

New term follows 14–1 election result

The ceremony followed the 5 November general election, in which preliminary results gave Mitchell’s National Democratic Congress 14 of the 15 elected seats. The New National Party retained St George North West.

Mitchell described the mandate as a major responsibility and said building the tri-island state requires participation from citizens at home and across the diaspora.

CARICOM observers report peaceful voting

In its preliminary statement dated 7 November, the 11-member CARICOM Election Observation Mission said electors were able to vote peacefully and in an orderly manner without significant incident. Observation teams visited 282 polling stations across mainland Grenada and Carriacou, covering all 15 constituencies.

CARICOM said a comprehensive final report and recommendations will be submitted to the CARICOM Secretary-General and made public. Citysound will update its coverage when final certification or other material official information is released.
