AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Prime Minister’s Medical Absence: St. Kitts and Nevis PM Dr. Terrance Drew has been sent overseas for specialised diagnostic tests and precautionary monitoring after being admitted to the JNF General Hospital with mild discomfort, nausea and a headache; officials say he remains stable, fully alert and in good spirits, while Deputy PM Dr. Geoffrey Hanley serves as Acting PM and takes on key portfolios, with Garth Wilkin handling National Security, Citizenship and Immigration. Opposition Leadership Change: PAM has elected Dr. Shawn Richards as Political Leader following Natasha “Shanny” Grey-Brookes’ resignation and withdrawal from East Basseterre, framing the move as party renewal and unity. Education & Youth: The Ministry of Education launched the 2026–27 school year with a Back-to-School Ceremony focused on self-renewal, holistic partnership and digital solutions, while two CARIFTA standouts—Kymarni Newton and Najeeb Kelly—won first-ever Jamaican high school track scholarships for the Federation. Nevis Geothermal Push: Nevis geothermal drilling is set to begin within 60 days after a final pre-mobilisation rig inspection in Iceland, and a St. Martin delegation visited Nevis to review progress and timelines. Local Governance & Services: Azard Gumbs pledged a comprehensive renovation and upgrade of Verchilds High School, and SCASPA marked 33 years managing St. Kitts’ airport and seaport operations. Public Life & Community: Mark Brantley clarified Culturama band payment concerns amid reported boycotts, and the Kalinago community marked remembrance events tied to Bloody Point and plans for a permanent craft centre.
