Leaving politics Since becoming the Leader of the Opposition in 2016, Misick was assuring everyone that he would be leaving politics after his term had come to an end. Thus, it was a surprise to all when he, in early 2019, stood for re-election within the party as its leader for the election to be called. Misick won said election and remained leader as the party geared up for what was expected to be the 2020 general elections. He still told of his readiness to exit politics in a "two minute speech" in the House of Assembly on 4 March 2019, stating:
"Over the past two years, I have been saying that I am done with this and I am leaving, but there comes a time for every man and nation to make a decision... I think I have a legacy that is not all bad and I believe it behoves me in a time like this to stand up, be counted and continue to contribute to these Islands even at my own detriment, my own personal economic loss." This would prove to pay off, as the PNP went on to win 14 of the 15 electoral districts in the
2021 general elections. The only seat not won has historically always gone to the PDM. Upon being sworn in, Misick (70) is the second oldest to lead the nation, with the oldest being
Nathaniel Francis who was 73 years old when he was sworn in as Chief Minister in 1985. ==Personal life==
