ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – Prime Minister Tillman Thomas Sunday named February 19 as the date for a general election here, urging supporters of his ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to return his party to power for another five year term.
Thomas, who led the NDC to an 11-4 victory in the 2008 general election, did not name the date for nomination of candidates.
“The time is right to seek a new mandate from the people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. With God’s grace and guidance, we shall be victorious,” Prime Minister Thomas told supporters gathered at the Sauteurs Bus Terminal in St Patrick, north of here.
