Prime Minister of Grenada
Mitchell’s National Democratic Congress won the 2022 general election with slightly over 51% of the popular vote and winning nine out of the fifteen available seats.[5] Mitchell reacted to the election victory by announcing that he would ask the governor-general, Dame Cécile La Grenade, to declare 24 June a national public or bank holiday so that "citizens can celebrate the liberation day and the victory that they have created for Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique".[6] On 24 June, Mitchell was sworn in as the ninth prime minister of Grenada, succeeding Keith Mitchell.[7][8][9] He pledged to end nepotism in the Grenadian society and reform the electoral system.[10][11] He took the additional portfolio of Minister of Finance of Grenada and created a new Ministry called the Ministry of Mobilization, Implementation and Transformation.[12][13] During his speech at the swearing-in of Ministers ceremony, he promised to pay teachers their withheld salaries.[13]
A supporter of Grenada becoming a republic, Mitchell said he hopes to see his country become one during his administration.[14]
