The Honourable Harrold (Harry) Mainwaring Edwards MNE EC (19 January 1982 - 2 May 2050) was Leader of the Opposition from March 2032 to April 2036 when he resigned in favour of Bill Howlett. A bank clerk by profession, Edwards became active in politics owing the policies of the Meyer government in the 2010s.
Edwards succeeded Antonia Davidson as leader of the Social Democratic Labour Party in March 2032, but was unable to make headway against the National Party government of John Tudor in the lead up to the khaki election of 2036. In the aftermath of the subsquent electoral rout, Edwards resigned the leadership of the SDLP and left parliament altogether at the 2040 election. He remained out of the public eye until his death in 2050.
