ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA, DECEMBER 19- The 79-year-old former Grenadian Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Mitchell, is to marry his one-time Permanent Secretary for Finance, Ophelia Wells, at a private ceremony in St Lucia next Saturday, December 27.

This has been confirmed by multiple sources, including relatives and top officials of the opposition New National Party, which Mitchell led for a generation.

Mitchell remains an MP but has recently indicated he may retire from frontline politics by the next general election.
Both Mitchell and Wells were previously married.

The former Prime Minister, who is almost twice Wells’s age, recently divorced his wife of nearly 50 years. Wells is also separated from the current Grenadian Finance Minister, Denis Cornwall.

The wedding is set to take place near Pigeon Island in northern St Lucia, relatives and party sources have confirmed.
