Delegates attending the main opposition New National Party convention in Grenada on Sunday elected the first woman to lead the party.
She is Emmalin Pierre, who served as the party's Public Relations Officer before her elevation, while new deputy leader is Norland Cox.
The NNP's December 15 convention was overdue by approximately two years and it was led by Dr. Keith Mitchell since 1989 who was then elected to lead the party, taking over from the late Herbert Blaize, the party's first leader.
Dr. Mitchell will now serve as the chairman of the Party and Gregory Bowen who served as the deputy political leader will now serve as the deputy chairman of the party.
The election occurred following accusation from former Assistant General Secretary Peter David of an undemocratic process which lacks fairness, transparency, and legality.
