The main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is holding its annual convention on Sunday at the Seamoon Cultural Centre in St. Andrew's.

It will be the first such gathering of the party following its resurgence in the November 27, 2003 general election when it won seven of the fifteen seats.

Political Leader Tillman Thomas (St. Patrick East) Alleyne Walker (St. Andrew North-west), Kenrick Fullerton (St. Andrew South-east), Peter David (Town of St. George), Nazim Burke (St. George North-east), Glynis Roberts (South St. George) and Denis Lett (St. David's) are now the party flag bearers in parliament.

The congress has reportedly invited an Opposition Senator from Antigua & Barbuda to deliver the feature address at the convention.
Party officials have been tight-lipped on releasing the name out of fears that attempts might be made by the ruling New Natoinal Party (NNP) administration of Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell to block the speaker from attending the convention.

The NDC complained a few years ago that the NNP leadership put pressure on Prime Minister Dr. Kenny Anthony of St. Lucia to prevent one of his deputies from coming to Grenada to address a gathering of the congress party.

One of the other highlights of the convention will be the election of officers in which no major changes are expected. Thomas will most likely be returned unopposed to the post of party chief.
