Gairy ultimately led Grenada into independence from Britain in February 1974, and went on to win three elections for the premiership. Among his opponents was the New JEWEL Movement (Joint Endeavor for Welfare, Education and Liberation), a group of mainly young, educated left-wingers led by Maurice Bishop.
