General elections were held in Grenada on 10 October 1951.[1] They were the first held with universal suffrage.[2] Eric Gairy's Grenada Mental and Manual Workers Union won six of the eight seats. However, at this time the Legislative Council had few powers and the role of head of government remained with the Administrator.
