Grenada general election process

Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell announced that Grenada will hold general elections on November 5, 2026, following the official dissolution of Parliament on October 2. The election will determine if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) retains control of the House of Representatives, where it previously held nine of the 15 seats.

As the election approaches, candidates have begun campaigning. Prime Minister Mitchell is the designated NDC candidate for St. David, centering his manifesto on healthcare, infrastructure, transport, and sports facilities. The main opposition, the New National Party (NNP) led by Emmalin Pierre, is preparing to challenge the incumbent government.

Legal challenges have emerged regarding the electoral process. Former attorney general Cajeton Hood filed a High Court claim concerning voter registration controversies, specifically the electoral rights of Grenadians living abroad. There are concerns that judicial determinations regarding these registration issues may not be completed before the November 5 polling date.
