Fair effort.......

[Johnny Sauce Pants 0]

Top effort. I see Robert Mugabe is already on your list. I'm hoping he pop's his clogs in 2014.

[Guest Guest]

I drew up a list of ex world leaders (presidents and PMs) over the age of 90 last christmas.Turned out there were about 70 of them.  Around 10 of them have died during the year.2 more were allready dead it turned out. Obviously the death rate below 90 will be less.

[Deathray 2,940]

"due course" may be a while. There's a lot of dead ex-leaders. Why can't they all die in office?

[ObakeFilter 894]

Abdul Halim of Kedah has died, he was the Sultan of Kedah, reigning from 1958 to 2017, and the second longest-reigning living monarch in the world after Queen Elizabeth II.

If you're feeling positive, try and figure out how he fits into the Malaysian political system. Here's what I parsed from Wiki:

Each state has a sultan

There is an election in which one of the sultans is chosen as king of the country

King of the country also means head of the country

Head of the country is not the same as PM of the country

At which point I just gave up.

He was a nice guy anyway. RIP.

An interesting bit of trivia, but not really enough to hold its own legs as a thread. Merged with a previous leaders thread.

 

Welcome to the forums Babylon, I would recommend in the future using the forum's search function to see if there's already a relevant thread before creating one yourself.

So long as they are killing Each other, That is fine with me. Remember the old phrase: the only good ( fill in the blank) is a dead one.

Current State Leaders

• Tuliaeoa Aiona Sailele Malielegaoi, Prime Minister of Samoa, 68

Samoa is having a constitutional crisis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Samoan_constitutional_crisis) as the 74-year old O le Ao o le Malo (head of state) Tuimalealiifano Va'aletoa Sualauvi II issued a proclamation purporting to prevent the Legislative Assembly of Samoa from meeting in the wake of the April 2021 Samoan general election.

 

How long can this guy, Tuliaeoa Aiona Sailele Malielegaoi still be the Prime Minister? He's 76 and has been the PM since 1998

That giant fucker won't accept that he lost the election for the first time since becoming Prime Minister in 1998. His party, the "Human Rights Protection Party" has dominated Samoan elections since 1982 and now refuses to yield power to the new government.

How large is the chance of him suffering a heart attack during the next few weeks or months?

[gcreptile 10,966]

So... George "Dubya" Bush Jr. does not have a thread?

Anyway, just noticed that he has aged a bit now, and kind of sounds and looks like he had a mild stroke? It's this video from a few months ago:
