Dr Bhoendradatt Tewarie is one of T&T’s longest-serving and most distinguished public intellectuals, as he was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1986 as a member of the National Alliance for Reconstruction government.
When the NAR lost power in 1991, he was employed as a lecturer at the St Augustine campus of The University of the West Indies, and he served as executive director of the UWI Institute of Business (IOB) for nine years before being appointed pro vice-chancellor and principal of the St. Augustine campus in September 2001.
Dr Tewarie returned to front-line politics in May 2011, when he was appointed a senator and minister of planning, economic and social restructuring and gender affairs in Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s first administration. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2015 as the Member for Caroni Central in the 11th Parliament.
