The NDP, which obtained its worst result since 1979, retained only three of its eight seats inclusive of the two Grenadines seats which had voted for the party's former leader, Sir James Mitchell, in every general election since 1966. With his ULP having won every election until 2025, Gonsalves became the country's longest continuously-serving head of government in 2017, surpassing the previous record-holder, James Mitchell who had served continuously for 16 years and 2 months.
