A Show of Strength and Unity
On September 7, 2025, the New National Party convened its 2025 General Council at the Grenada Trade Centre — the first such gathering under the leadership of Political Leader Emmalin Pierre. The event drew hundreds of delegates and supporters from constituencies across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.
The turnout sent a powerful signal of party unity and organisational strength at a time when the NNP is positioning itself as a credible alternative to the current government.
Two-Session Format
The General Council was structured in two sessions designed to balance internal governance with public engagement:
Closed-Door Delegate Session
The morning session was reserved for accredited delegates and focused on:
- Reviewing party finances and organisational reports
- Assessing constituency readiness ahead of the next general election
- Setting the date for the 2025 NNP Convention, where a new party executive will be elected
- Discussing policy positions on key national issues
Open Public Session
The afternoon session opened the doors to the wider NNP family and the general public. It featured addresses from the Political Leader, parliamentary representatives, and constituency caretakers, as well as cultural performances and a question-and-answer segment.
Pierre Sets the Tone
In her keynote address, Pierre struck a balance between celebrating the party's progress and acknowledging the work still ahead.
"We are not here to reminisce about past glories. We are here to plan for future victories," Pierre said. "Every constituency must be ready. Every supporter must be engaged. Every Grenadian must know what the NNP stands for."
Pierre also announced that the upcoming convention would be an opportunity to elect a new executive team that reflects the energy and diversity of the party's growing membership.
Looking Toward Convention
The General Council's most anticipated decision was the setting of a date for the 2025 Convention. Delegates expressed broad enthusiasm for the convention as a chance to formalise the party's leadership structure and rally support heading into an election cycle.
The NNP continues to demonstrate that it is a party in motion — organised, focused, and preparing to govern.
