Grenada Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell has named his new Cabinet, with a total of 11 Ministers.

The announcement comes after Mitchell led the New National Party to a landslide sweep of all 15 seats contested in the country’s Feb. 19 elections.

Mitchell himself will assume the portfolios of Finance, Energy, National Security, Disaster Preparedness, Home Affairs, Public Affairs, Public Administration, Implementation and Information.

Succeeding former Tourism Minister Dr George Vincent will be Alexandra Otway-Noel, who had served as Shadow Minister of Tourism for the NNP. She has previously served as the manager of LIAT’s Grenada operations.

The country’s new Foreign Minister will be Nickolas Steele.
