    Use a set to search for vowels, O(1) instead of O(n), n = |vowels| Also single loop instead of two loops i.e. list comprehensions.

    def minion_game(string):
    # your code goes here
    vowels = set()
    [vowels.add(x) for x in 'AEIOU']
    slen = len(string)
    volscore = 0
    conscore = 0
    for i in range(slen):
        n = slen - i
        if s[i] in vowels:
            volscore += n
        else:
            conscore += n
    if conscore > volscore:
        print(f"Stuart {conscore}")
    elif conscore < volscore:
        print(f"Kevin {volscore}")
    else:
        print("Draw")
            

if __name__ == '__main__':
    s = input()
    minion_game(s

    Cleaner solution:

    def minion_game(string):
    vowels, n = 'AEIOU', len(string)
    stuart = sum([n - i for i in range(0, n) if string[i] not in vowels])
    kevin = sum([n - i for i in range(0, n) if string[i] in vowels])

    diff = stuart - kevin
    if diff > 0:
        print(f"Stuart {stuart}")
    elif diff < 0:
        print(f"Kevin {kevin}")
    else:
        print("Draw")

        kevin_score = stuart_score = 0
    length = len(string)
    count = 0
    for c in string:
        if c in 'AEIOU':
            kevin_score += (length - count)
        else:
            stuart_score += (length - count)
        # string = string[1:]
        count += 1

    if (kevin_score > stuart_score):
        print(f'Kevin {kevin_score}')
    elif (stuart_score > kevin_score):
        print(f'Stuart {stuart_score}')
    else:
        print('Draw')
