Timeline
Herbert Augustus Blaize PC (26 February 1918 – 19 December 1989) was a Grenadian politician and leader of the Grenada National Party.
In 1953 he formed the Grenada National Party as a rival party to the Grenada United Labour Party of Eric Gairy, who would be Blaize's main political rival for the next 25 years.
Blaize entered the legislature in 1957 and became Minister of Trade and Production.
When Grenada was still a British Crown Colony he served as the first Chief Minister from 1960 to 1961, and again from 1962 to 1967.
He was appointed as Chief Minister in 1960 and held the additional portfolio of finance.
He lost power to Gairy in 1961, and was reappointed in 1962 after Gairy was dismissed.
He became the first Premier of the autonomous Associated State of Grenada briefly in 1967.
In 1967 Grenada became an associated state within the British Empire, gaining more internal self-government.
He was the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives of Grenada from 1974 to 1976.
In 1976 Blaize's center-right National Party joined forces with the left-wing New Jewel Movement led by Maurice Bishop for the elections that year, which Gairy and the GULP won.
The alliance between Blaize and Bishop ended by 1979 when Bishop seized power.
In the first elections following the 1983 coups and the American-led invasion of Grenada, he served as Prime Minister from 1984 until his death in 1989.
Blaize was born in the island of Carriacou, which along with the island of Petite Martinique is a part of Grenada.
He moved to Aruba where he worked many years in the oil refinery of the Lago Oil and Transport Company.
Blaize retired from politics and moved back to Carriacou, until after the intervention by the United States in 1983.
During the election campaign of 1984, Blaize merged his parties with several other center-right parties to form the New National Party, which took 14 of 15 seats in the election.
In addition to being Prime Minister, Blaize became Minister of Home Affairs, Security, Information, Finance, Trade, Planning, Industrial Development and Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs.
Blaize's government advocated a strong economic and military alliance for Grenada with the United States, and other overseas investment.
He died in December 1989 near St. George's, Grenada, following a several-years-long battle with prostate cancer, aged 71.
Two days before his death, Blaize had been elected the first party leader of the newly formed National Party.
Herbert Blaize was survived by his wife,
Dame Venetia Blaize, DBE (née Venetia Ursula Davidson); three daughters, Norma Blaize (a former Consul-General of Grenada in New York), Carol Jerome and Marion Fleary; three sons, Samuel Blaize, Marvin Blaize and Christopher Blaize.
He was also survived by a sister, Muriel Noel.
