Grenadian Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell said he is willing to square off against the main opposition leader in a series of national debates ahead of the July 8 general elections.
Prime Minister Manning has previously ignored calls to engage the opposition in debates.
Dr. Mitchell said the New National Party (NNP) is now ready for debates but only with the main Opposition National Democratic Congress and not with smaller political parties.
He said his party has the most qualified team in the campaign and is willing to debate issues but is not prepared to engage parties which have not weon at least 5% of the votes in the last election.
However, Beverly Sinclair of Community Channel 6, a local television station which had started a series of live political debates said the ruling party was never interested since they had been invited to participate since late year and refused to even respond to the correspondence.

First of all grenada is in a better state than most countries.I am not a big fan of the Prime Minister.He has done some questionable things and has thin skin and takes things to personal as a public figure.That been said,let us look at grenada and if we are honest we ill see that under his administration the country has made a lot of progress.If the PM learns from the mistakes he made in the past,only betterment can come to our people.The man has vision and love for the country and is what will propels him to do a good job.What does the NDC has to offer? i guess five years of no growth where everyone has to take care of themselves,family and friends.Grenadians donot be full by all the nonsense you hear.Just look around and see you country and see the developement.For the PM promise the public that regardless of political affilations you will look out for all grenadians.When you do that history will vindicate you and you will be one of the best PM.On election day please Grenadians do the right thing and vote for progress vote NNP.
