Terrance Michael Drew (born 22 November 1976[citation needed]) is a Kittitian medical doctor and politician who is the fourth and current prime minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, having been elected to the National Assembly in the 5 August 2022 general election.
Dr. Drew is the son of Ras Gerzel Pet Mills and Michael ‘Mic Stokes’ Heyliger. He graduated from the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College in 1996. At the age of 19, he was a part time teacher at the Basseterre High School. In 1998, he went to Cuba to study medicine, and graduated from the Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Villa Clara in Santa Clara. Drew then returned to Saint Kitts to work as a general practitioner.[1] He later went to Texas to study internal medicine, and graduated from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in 2013.[2]
He was elected as the leader of Saint Kitts and Nevis Labour Party on November 28, 2021, where he garnered 45% of the votes cast at the St. Kitts and Nevis Labour Party local conference.[3][4]
The Drew ministry was sworn in on 15 August 2022,[5] and Drew kept the portfolio of Minister of Finance for himself.
In November 2022, Drew made the declaration in his remarks at the Bitcoin Cash 2022 conference that took place in St. Kitts that Bitcoin Cash (BCH) could be made legal tender in the nation by March 2023.[6]
In 2023, following the coronation of King Charles III, Drew stated that his government would take public consultation regarding the republic movement.[7]
