Quick Summary
The Grenada United Labour Party (GULP) was a political party in Grenada. Eric M. Gairy, a trade unionist, led the GULP and served as prime minister when Grenada gained independence in 1974. The GULP defeated the Grenada National Party (GNP) in the 1967 general election, leading to Gairy's premiership. In the 1976 election, the GULP's parliamentary majority was reduced due to a coalition between the GNP and the New Jewel Movement. The GULP's influence waned after the 1979 coup and subsequent political events in Grenada.12
