Former St. George South MP gracefully accepts elections outcome

Leader of the National United Front, Mrs. Glynis Roberts, says that she gracefully accepts the outcome of the February 19 General Elections and took the opportunity to reassure Grenadians that her commitment to community and national development remain undaunted.

“It has been humbling and an honour of duty to have represented the St. George South constituency as its elected Member of Parliament from 2003 to 2013,” she said in a statement, which was disseminated on Tuesday night following the elections in which the New National Party won all 15 constituencies.

She gave reassurances that it’s not the end of her political career and the people of Grenada will always be first. “I would like to thank all supporters and well-wishers for their effort and contribution to the National United Front during this election campaign,” said the statement.

At 8:27 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, Mrs. Roberts called the elected representative for St. George South, Mrs. Alexandra Otway-Noel, and offered congratulations. At 9:22 p.m., she then called the Political Leader of the New National Party, Dr. Keith Mitchell, and also offered congratulations and best wishes.

“On behalf of the Executive and Members of the National United Front, Mrs. Roberts remains committed to building the National United Front along the lines of politics of inclusion, articulating politics of a different paradigm with the message shared at many of the meetings during the election campaign,” the statement said.
