Probably the earliest surviving state governor ? The oldest ex-governor I found still alive was José Ornellas, who governed the state of the Federal District between the ages of 82 and 85, born on November 30, 21 (there was news of his 100th birthday, so I believe his death will be reported ) I have not found anything that confirms that Antônio Ferreira Ruppel is alive, he was born on March 3, 1921 and only temporarily governed the state of Paraná between November 17 and 20, 1965. We have two governors who governed in the 60s, Paulo Pimentel, who governed Paraná between 66 and 71 (born on August 7, 1928) and José Sarney, who was governor of Maranhão between 66 and 70 (born on April 24, 1928). 1928). 1930), that is, if Ruppel really is dead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
