Nazim Burke (né Victor Gordon Burk, born September 1956[1]) is a Grenadian politician from the island of Carriacou, Grenada. He was born in Belair, Carriacou.
Finance ministry
He served as the nation’s Minister of Finance, Planning, Economic Development, Energy and Foreign Trade during the premiership of Tillman Thomas,[1][2][3] from 2008 to 2013, headed by Tillman Thomas.[citation needed]
NDC leadership
He was elected as the political leader of the NDC at a party convention in early 2014 after Thomas stepped aside following the loss at the 2013 elections.[4] Burke himself resigned as party leader in July 2018 following his party’s disastrous election results in that year’s election in which the party failed to gain any seats leaving it out of the House of Representatives for a third time. He was succeeded by his deputy, Joseph Andall as acting leader, pending a new leadership election due no later than March 2019.[citation needed]
