Henry Archibald Loguesea Nugent is a Delamarian politician, activist and diplomat, who has served as Prime Minister of Delamaria and Leader of the Liberal Conservative Party since 2024. He previously served as International Development Secretary, and has sat as MP for Penkern since 2012. Nugent is described as a Commonwelath conservative, advocating for socially liberal policies and a Social market economy. Nugent became Prime Minister in January 2024 after winning the 2024 Liberal Conservative Leadership contest, following the resignation of Philip Campbell.

Nugent was born on December 30th, 1981 to Brigadier General Michael Nugent and Moura Cadogan-Loguesea in Marbury, Labrador. His father was a senior military officer, who served as a defence advisor to Elizabeth Grantham's government, and his mother, Moura, was a socialite and granddaughter of Arthur Cadogan-Loguesea, Earl of Marbury. Nugent boarded at the Westcourt School in Central Labrador, before attending the University of Westchester in 1999. In 2002 he granduated Westchester with a master's degree in Politics, Economics and Philosophy with Lysian and Ahroman. Nugent's first job was as a researcher for the Development Office, and rose to direct operations in Alharu in 2007.

Nugent resigned from the DO in 2008 in protest at the Severnson government's decision to place the development office objectives under foreign policy control. Nugent described this to The Labrador Times as "playing with the poorest on Eurth to support their [The Severnson Government's] own objectives". Nugent went on to work for the charity network DelamariAid, later helping to found the think tank New Commonwealth.
