I'm almost sure Lipponen won't see his 80th birthday. Paavo Lipponen gave an interview today. Sounded frail but (somehow) otherwise in a very good condition for a 80-year-old with a long history of health issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 8, 2022 Montana State Rep. Frank Fleming of Billings has died after what GOP leaders called a “long and difficult health battle.” Fleming, a Republican, was appointed to the state Legislature in 2018 and was in the middle of his second term at the time of his death at age 68.

There are currently nine of them aged 95+, most of them very minor names (including Poutanen) but there are also a few (slightly) interesting ones: Heikki Hasu, 1952 Oslo Olympics 4x10km relay gold medalist, Jutta Zilliacus, journalist (who was also sued by Vladimir Zhirinovsky in the 90s) and Ele Alenius, socialist who opposed the Soviet Union and the invasion of Czechoslovakia and now considers both capitalism and socialism outdated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 8, 2022 The state is mourning the loss of New Hampshire state Rep. Robert D. “Renny” Cushing, a self-described “aging revolutionary” and social justice crusader who died after a long battle with stage four prostate cancer. He was 69. On March 2, he announced he was stepping aside on a medical leave of absence from his leadership role as House Democratic Leader. In his eighth term as a member of the House of Representatives, Cushing began his political actions as a member of the Clamshell Alliance which opposed the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in the 1970s. He has been a crusader for many human rights causes over those years, and particularly so on issues related to the death penalty, despite the fact, his father was murdered.

Not sure if he still has cancer, but looks great for a overweight 84-year old. The other living former president, 77-year old Guy Scott, parkinson skeleton who was the acting president for a while in 2014 has also talked about the upcoming Thursday presidential elections in Zambia, multiple articles released that have statements from him but there's never a picture or a video of him. He's been reported "ailing" for a long time not only physically (according to many on twitter he's currently so frail he can't stand at all) but also mentally, so there's a chance the opinions in those articles aren't completely his own ones. Who's going to be here for a longer time? I'd place my money on Banda. Other Zambian politicians: Malimba Masheke (1941-) Last Prime Minister of Zambia 1989-1991 and last one living. Akashambatwa Mbikusita-Lewanika (1948-) Last living candidate of the 1996 Presidential elections and last living 20th century candidate in the Presidential elections of Zambia. Godfrey Miyanda (1944-) VP 1994-1997, earliest living VP Enoch Kavindele (1950-) VP 2001-2003 Nevers Mumba (1960-) VP 2003-2004 Inonge Wina (1941-) VP 2015-2021 I hope it wasn't very much! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
