Constituency

Dear Citizens of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique,

There are times when we make history, and there are times when history makes us. Over the past fifty-one years, the history of our political landscape has been marked by promises of national unity, varying degrees of reform, constitutional adherence, social democracy, and empty transformative outcomes. Grenada’s political scene has seen the rise and fall of many political organizations. Although our democracy is a complex and imperfect system, it is a work in progress that requires constant rebalancing of our competing values and priorities.

Throughout its political turbulence, our island and its people have demonstrated resilience over these past fifty-one years. Nonetheless, this post-independence era demands a resetting of the clock with dedicated and ongoing attention to the specific needs of all our people, particularly our youth—a fact that feels deeply relevant in our current political climate.

At this juncture, following our fifty-first independence anniversary, we believe it is essential to be clear about the perspective we adopt when discussing terms such as Democracy, Sustainability, Governance, and Resilience.

The People’s National Party believes that in this post-fiftieth independence resetting, we must:

• Ensure that we build well-structured and functional political organizations with a solid succession plan. This political model will speak to the organization of the party and, ultimately, the governing structure that will follow national leadership.
• Strive to professionalize policymaking. The strength of a Government’s policymaking is integral to its governance. It is here that the quality of the policy process takes precedence.
• Regain the trust of the citizenry and the constituencies we lead through authenticity and a new brand of local grassroots politics.
• Respect the established institutions that provide checks and balances for the safety and well-being of all citizens.

As such, political organizations and institutions can no longer wander aimlessly toward national leadership through political semantics. Across the Anglophone-speaking Caribbean, voting demographics are shifting, and we now have a more innovative, investigative, and intelligent generation to hold us accountable.

Therefore, the People’s National Party (PNP) presents a political organization for all Grenadians. Inclusive leadership, politics that resonate with human dignity, strategic policy direction, and grassroots, people-centered local representation will create the foundation upon which we aim to reset Grenada.
