Andrew Miles Roberts (born 1978) is the former Chief Minister of Isidorrey, an elected deputy for Ignaston, and the leader of the Modern Labour Movement political party.

Early life and education
Roberts was born in 1978 and attended The Jean Bordaue University, graduating with a degree in Computer Science in 2000.

Career
Upon leaving university, Roberts joined The Modern Labour Movement, running for election in his home parish of Ignaston. He was elected and served as a backbencher during the term.

In 2004 ahead of the upcoming general election, Roberts assumed leadership of the party, an election they eventually won. Following the election, he joined with Timothee Kumbeu and Hélèn Vidal, the leader of The Centre Union and Libres respectively, in talks about forming a coalition government. This leading to the formation of The Tripartite Government, the current government of Isidorrey, resulting in Roberts becoming the Chief Minister.

He served his second term as Chief Minister in 2012.

Personal life
Roberts lives in Ignaston with his husband Matthew Roberts (né Taylor).

On an interview with IFTV  Breakfast News in November of 2005, the couple revealed that they had met in the run up to the 2000 general election, where Taylor had met Roberts at a MOM campaign event. They were 'on and off' citing the legality of them being together as a major barrier. This was until September 2001 when they decided to begin cohabiting, with Taylor moving into Roberts home under the pretence of being 'roommates'. Taylor explained the decision during the interview: "I think the final push for us was the tragic event that happened on September 11th. Information has a way of spreading down through communities, you know? Going onto the online forums - which back then was really the only safe space to be out, all you would see were reposts from the partners of those who died. People wishing that they spent more time together, took the risk, and how they couldn't change that now. But we could, and so we did".

They were joined under civil union following the successful passing of the Civil Partnership Act on the 28th September 2005.
