The St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party is Now Under New Leadership
Former Chairman of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), Dr. Terrance Drew is now the current Leader of the SKNLP.
The leadership election was held at the party’s historical 89th National Conference on Sunday 28th November 2021 at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort. The conference was held under the theme “Forward Together".
Dr. Terrance Drew has succeeded the Rt. Hon Dr. Denzil Douglas, who has held the position of Party Leader for the past 32 years and Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis for 20 years. Dr. Douglas is highly revered locally, regionally, and internationally and like other leaders of the party before him, leaves behind a tremendous legacy for the new leader to carry on.

The conference was a highly anticipated one as this was the first time in the party’s history that the leadership position was contested. It was a limited delegation of over 400 persons due to the COVID-19 protocols that are established within that country.

Dr. Drew is a beloved medical doctor and the Caretaker for Constituency #8.
The new Leader of the SKNLP, Dr. Drew will be supported by two deputy leaders, Mr. Konris Maynard, and Hon. Dr. Geoffrey Hanley.
