About the NNP

Four Decades of Service to Grenada

Since 1984, the New National Party has been a driving force in Grenadian politics — building infrastructure, creating opportunity, and serving the people.

Our Mission

The New National Party is committed to building a strong Grenada bolstered by a resilient economy and a firm commitment to equality, inclusion, and opportunity for all Grenadians.

We believe that the future of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique depends on prudent financial planning, transparency, accountability, and democratic practices that put people first.

Under new leadership, we are restoring hope through job creation, youth empowerment, debt restructuring, and social partnerships — building the New Economy together.

Our Values

Transparency

Open governance that the people of Grenada can trust and verify.

Inclusion

Every Grenadian — regardless of background — has a seat at the table.

Accountability

We answer to the people, not to special interests.

Innovation

Embracing new approaches to build a modern, competitive economy.
