ST GEORGE’S, GRENADA (October 29, 2025) – Independent MP Peter David announced Wednesday that he will launch his highly anticipated political movement on Sunday, November 16, at the Grenada Trade Center at Grand Anse, with recent polling data suggesting the new formation could immediately alter the island’s political landscape.

In a live-streamed national address late Wednesday, David emphasized the scope of what he’s building. 
“We are careful not to say the people are launching a party, because this is too limiting. It’s a first-rate movement inspired by dreams and determination; by prayer and purpose,” he declared.

The announcement comes as a recently published poll shows a party led by David could immediately become a significant political force. 

A local newspaper aligned with the ruling National Democratic Congress warned last week that the incumbent government should be concerned about David’s ability to hold the balance of power in a likely hung parliament.
“The polls are promising, but the future even more so,” a confident David declared on Wednesday.

David resigned from the New National Party in January following what has been widely characterized as a rigged convention a month earlier. 

He is highly regarded as Grenada’s most effective Foreign Minister, having served under both Prime Ministers Tillman Thomas and Keith Mitchell.

While other political leaders have remained silent on recent US demands to deploy military assets in Grenada, David has been the only parliamentarian to speak publicly on the issue, urging the island to protect its sovereignty.

“While navigating these hills and valleys, we have revived our acquaintance with a people who do not just say no to anyone, even the powerful – in ensuring that their dignity remains intact and their national sovereignty protected,” he said Wednesday, in an apparent reference to the controversy.

The comments came a day after David was barred from speaking during Tuesday’s controversial aborted parliamentary session, despite rules allowing him to deliver a “personal statement.”

He was reportedly seeking to make what was described as “a bold statement” on the US military issue, even as a promised report by Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell remained pending.

“There is no adjournment on which we cannot speak; no statement we shall make that could be postponed,” David declared, in apparent reference to the parliamentary denial.
