In a significant political development, the New National Party (NNP) has officially designated Dr. Adrian Joseph as its caretaker representative for the St George North West constituency. This strategic nomination occurred during a well-attended assembly that signaled both renewal and continuity within the party’s leadership structure.
Dr. Joseph’s selection positions him to contend for the parliamentary seat previously held by the Right Honorable Dr. Keith Mitchell, as the NNP prepares for upcoming general elections with a emerging generation of leadership. A distinguished public servant and diplomat, Dr. Joseph introduces a measured, professional, and service-focused approach to political representation, rooted in extensive community involvement and national service experience.
The nomination received enthusiastic endorsement from both party delegates and constituents, demonstrating substantial confidence in Dr. Joseph’s capacity to represent St George North West with both integrity and innovative perspective.
Honorable Emmalin Pierre, Member of Parliament, Political Leader of the New National Party and Opposition Leader, characterized the nomination as an element of a carefully orchestrated and disciplined transition strategy intended to fortify the party’s future readiness. “This development exemplifies a forward-thinking party that prioritizes national interests,” Pierre stated. “Dr. Joseph embodies the leadership qualities we seek—competence, pragmatism, and service orientation. Our current objective involves continuing to assemble a robust team capable of delivering results for Grenadian citizens while respecting the exemplary standards established by Dr. Mitchell.”
The nomination gathering additionally functioned as an occasion for recognition and appreciation of Dr. Keith Mitchell, Grenada’s longest-serving Prime Minister and NNP founder. With Dr. Joseph’s appointment, Dr. Mitchell concludes his transition from electoral politics following decades of exemplary service to Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.
Dr. Mitchell’s monumental contributions to national development, party establishment, and regional leadership received widespread acknowledgment during proceedings. Although he will not pursue re-election, Dr. Mitchell will maintain an advisory role as a trusted counselor and senior statesman, providing guidance informed by extensive experience and profound institutional knowledge.
Party representatives emphasized that “This constitutes not an conclusion but a strategically managed transition informed by experience and accountability. Dr. Mitchell established a solid institutional foundation. Emmalin Pierre now advances this legacy forward. Dr. Adrian Joseph introduces his distinctive leadership approach and dedication to serving St George North West constituents.”
The New National Party approaches this new chapter with unified purpose, confidence in its leadership direction, and concentrated emphasis on delivering opportunity, stability, and effective governance for all Grenadians.
