🇬🇩 MEET GRENADA’S NEW PRIME MINISTER

Dickon Amiss Thomas Mitchell has been sworn in as prime minister of the tri-island state of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

Mitchell, 44, was sworn in as the ninth Prime Minister of Grenada by Governor-General Dame Cecile La Gr***de during a ceremony at the Grenada Trade Center this afternoon.

He described the election victory as surreal and nothing short of a miracle.

Mitchell, who is an attorney at law by profession, says the citizens of Grenada have shown that even when larger countries falter, Grenada’s democracy is strong, alive and rests with the people.

In his address, he said one of the main issues he will seek to address as prime minister is Grenada’s electoral process which he says needs to be strengthened and is in dire need of reform.
