Through his commitment to public service Dr Friday has served as a Member of Parliament for 19 years after being elected as the Member of Parliament for the Northern Grenadines in 2001.
He understands the frustration of those looking for work and our talented young people who cannot find jobs here. Many are forced to leave our shores to seek opportunities overseas.

This will mean more of our young people can build careers and raise their families here in SVG. Godwin Friday and the NDP will secure the change to get SVG working again and deliver a brighter future for all of us.
