Grenada's Prime Minister Tillman Thomas has asked Governor General Sir Caryle Glean to dissolve Parliament paving the way for general elections in Grenada within 90 days.
In a brief radio and television address, Thomas did not name the date for the general election that was constitutionally due by October this year, but widely expected before that month.
He said he would be announcing the election date shortly in order to give all nationals who are eligible to vote an opportunity to be registered.
He said in order to ?responsibly and effectively hold a free and fair general election, the election machinery must be in place and ready to facilitate it and conduct such.
Prime Minister Thomas led his NDC to an 11-4 victory in the 2008 general election, but has since seen the strength of the party dwindle in the Parliament as government ministers have either been fired or tendered their resignation.
