ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA, September 23  — Speculation that Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell could announce Grenada’s next general election in October is intensifying amid reports of further preparations within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Sources say October 4 had been under consideration for a major NDC motorcade and rally, but the party is now considering an alternative date because of a potential clash with a major Waggy T event also scheduled for October 4.

Neither the proposed NDC event nor a revised date has been officially announced.

The development comes as reliable sources report that office managers from the country’s 15 parliamentary elections constituency offices recently met with employees and outlined arrangements surrounding the transition following the dissolution of Parliament.

Details of those discussions have not been made public, and no dissolution date has been announced. However, the reported meeting is adding another element to growing speculation that an election announcement could come sometime in October.

Mitchell himself has recently intensified the election rhetoric.

Addressing an NDC mini-rally on Sunday, the Prime Minister urged supporters to begin knocking on doors, checking voter registration and ensuring voters know their polling divisions.

“Get ready. The conch shell will blow soon,” Mitchell told supporters.

The NDC is also moving toward completing its 15-member candidate slate Wednesday evening at Tivoli R.C. School, where delegates will vote for a caretaker candidate for St.Andrew’s North East . The party is also  advancing its constituency-based People’s Manifesto process, which is expected to wrap up by the end of September.

Meanwhile, a questionnaire circulated among NDC supporters overseas asks whether they can currently travel to Grenada to assist during the upcoming election.

Significantly, the questionnaire instructs respondents: “For planning purposes, assume the election may be held on or before December 31, 2026.”

Reports also indicate campaign personnel are contracted through December, and vendors are being approached for political activities.

None of these developments establishes when Parliament will be dissolved or when Grenadians will vote.

But taken together — the diaspora questionnaire, campaign mobilization, candidate preparations, the reported discussions with constituency office staff, and plans for a major NDC motorcade and rally — they suggest October will be closely watched for a possible announcement from the Prime Minister.
