The National Democratic Congress (NDC) staged a historical convention culminating in a massive rally at the Beausejour playing field on Sunday March 2, 2025. The 38th annual conventionheld at the Happy Hill Secondary school in St. George North West, known to be an opposition strong hold, for the past forty plus years concluded withtheunprecedented election of the first female Chairperson in the party’s history. Reaffirming its dedication to the principles of democracy, the NDCaddressed some critical constitutional changes in order to strategically align the party with its forward moving trajectory. A significant move marking the first constitutional amendments sincethe establishment of the party in 1987.
Delegates from all 15 constituencies, as well as representatives from the diaspora, gathered in person and online and elected a new executive committee to oversee the party’s activities. Notably, as part ofthe constitutional revisions, the term of office for the executive was extended from one year to two years.
In addition to the historical election of the Party’s first female chair, Senator Gloria Ann Thomas, the duly ratified constitutional changes allowed for the election of the first Deputy General Secretary, Osbert Charles. Senator Thomas is joined by four other cabinet members in the executive, including Member of Parliament Andy Williams as General Secretary, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell as Political Leader, and Members of Parliament Joseph Andall as Deputy Political Leader, and Ron Redhead as Public Relations Officer.
Andrea St. Bernard retained the position of Treasurer, while Orlando Romain returned to the Executive in the capacity of Deputy PRO and Terrance Forrestor in the capacity of Floor member.

In a strong display of regional unity visiting PrimeMinisters, Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit of Dominica and PhillipJ. Pierre, of Saint. Lucia, demonstrated their resounding support for Political Leader and Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell. Prime Minister Pierre, reminded the rally crowd to “keep their eyes on the prize” and called for support of the Political leader and the administration of the NDC. While, Prime Minister Skerrit stated that “Grenada needs NDC and Dickon Mitchell at this time in its development”, noting that when they start to attack your leader it is because things are happening in Grenada under Dickon Mitchell.
