Manmohan Singh hospitalised. Seems not too serious, but has a long history of diabetes and heart disease.

Manmohan Singh hospitalised after testing positive for COVID-19, which is deeply ravaging India. A man in his general health condition would likely be fucked, but... 

he has got two doses of Indian vaccine Covaxin. That did not prevent him from getting infected, but is much more likely to prevent him getting serious symptoms.

Hmmm... doesn't sound good to me, unless he has just been hospitalised as a precaution. The Mukherjee of 2021?

I'm almost willing to bet some money that H. D. Deve Gowda will outlive Manmohan Singh and Pratibha Patil.

Covid got to Vanuatu. The country has a lot of old and unhealthy political figures and they don't tend to live very long:

 

Presidents:

Ati George Sokomanu (b. 1937) First President of Vanuatu in the 80s. Lost his wife last year.

John Bani (b. 1941) Fourth President of Vanuatu. The other presidents between Sokomanu and Bani are all dead. Looks worse than Sokomanu.

Kalkot Mataskelekele (b. 1949) Sixth President of Vanuatu.

Iolu Abil (b. 1942) Seventh President.

Philip Boedoro (b. 1958) and Esmon Saimon (b. 1955) former acting presidents, both look like sumo wrestlers.

 

 

Prime Ministers:

Maxime Carlot Korman (b. 1941) 2nd Prime Minister of Vanuatu 1991-1995 and in 1996. Overweight and old-looking. Also an (acting) president once.

Serge Vohor (b. 1955)  Third Prime Minister. Has been Prime Minister for five times, only once over a year. Bribery scandals, no known health issues

Barak Sope (b. 1951 or 1955) Fifth Prime Minister. Overweight and seen using a walking stick in many photos.

Ham Lini (b. 1951) Seventh Prime Minister. Brother of Walter Lini, first prime minister, who died in his 50s.

Former US representative of Oregon, Elizabeth Furse dead of a fall at 84:

https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2021/04/former-oregon-congresswoman-elizabeth-furse-has-died.html

 

She was born in the British colony of Kenya, grew up in South Africa, and married a US citizen. Then she became the first naturalized American to win a seat in Congress. Interesting.

Yep. Has 10 years on Rogers and is looking reasonably well in this pic from 2019  

Tribute interview to Shirley Williams from Lord David Owen here https://mobile.twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1385157679153225732

 

He looks and sounds pretty good for an 83 year old (he could easily pass for ten years younger) and clearly is still mentally all there. Will be surprising if Rodgers survives him. 

 

A more interesting question may be which of the two Davids (Owen and Steel) lasts longer? 

[arghton 6,697]

As the oldest living state leaders seem to be a pretty strong group, here's a list of the top 5 (plus the two "unclear status" ones) a picture of the person is above his name.

 

 

(101th birthday, March 2021)

(Unclear status) - Josip Manolić (b. 22th of March 1920)

Second Prime Minister of Croatia 1990-1991. Croatia was still a part of SFR Yugoslavia until 1991. A meme in his country for how youthful he is. Seems to still be very healthy.

 

(100th birthday, January 2021)

1 - Mustafa Ben Halim (b. 29th January 1921)

Libyan Prime Minister 1954-1957. Only Kingdom of Libya leader who lived long enough to see Gaddafi fall.

 

(Unclear status) - Kim Yong-ju (b. September 1921?)

Vice President during Vacancy 1994-1998. Not much information on how he's doing nowadays or if he is even alive.

 

(2016)

2 - Francisco Morales-Bermúdez (b. 4th October 1921)

Military dictator/President of Peru 1975-1980. Sentenced to life imprisonment in Italy in 2017.

 

(16th of April 2021, vaccinated for COVID)

3 - Luis Echeverría (b. 17th January 1922)

Mexican President 1970-1976. Banned rock music recorded my Mexican bands in 1971. He was hospitalized in 2018, is now in a wheelchair.

(2016) 4 - Khamtai Siphandon (b. 8th February 1924) First the Laotian Prime Minister 1991-1998, then the President 1998-2006. Stepped down in 2006, his predecessor as President (Nouhak Phoumsavanh) lived to 98. One of the more quiet people on this list.   (Late 2020) 5 - Tomiichi Murayama (b. 3rd March 1924) Japanese Prime Minister 1994-1996 known for releasing the Murayama Statement. Still in good health.

[drol 11,923]

Old Kim was actually born in September 1922, despite Western media having the tendency to exaggerate North Korean politicians age. I think he is definitely still alive and will get a wreath from his nephew when he dies. It just seems the North Koreans hierarchs from the 20s are unsinkable.

Says that he'll buy this new somewhat experimental medicine after easter that could make it spread slower.

It's mutating and apparently is now also in the lungs and in adipose tissue.

Jyrki Kasvi update:

Got access to two experimental medicines. He has two mutations that cause the cancer to spread unstoppably despite treatment and medicines but still hopes that these will work.

As I've mentioned before his bladder, both kidneys, prostate and spleen have been removed. 60% of his liver still works.

He has planned his funeral, done all the paperwork but hopes he'll have more time.

https://taarifa.rw/burundis-major-general-ndayirukiye-dies-in-prison/

Cyrille Ndayirukiye, former Burundian Minister of National Defence 2000-2002 has died aged 66 in prison.

He was known for participating in a coup against Pierre Nkurunziza (1964-2020) in 2015.

The coup was led by Godefroid Niyombare, former Burundi ambassador to Kenya. The four generals (Ndayirukiye, Niyombare and two others) who organized the coup were given a life sentence.

I understand why she didn't like the gays. She looks like a massive lesbian so probably got alot of unwanted attention from women...

Marjatta Väänänen, a politician in Finland during dictator/president Kekkonen's presidency...

 

This means there are only two members of the Black dozen (Musta tusina) alive,

Taisto Tähkämaa (b. 1924, former defence minister and minister of agriculture and forestry)

Heimo Linna (b. 1925, another former minister of agriculture and forestry)

 

The opposing K-line has more living members:

Seppo Sarlund (b. 1942, lobbyist)

Paavo Väyrynen (b. 1946, perennial candidate for president and veteran politician)

Got to love these comments on LibDem leaders from Lord Smith who couldn't even get elected to the House of Commons - what a prick he sounds: 

 

[Ulitzer95 12,576]

Speaking of ill Lords... worth taking note of these names for deadpooling purposes (though granted, a bit of a shot in the dark):

Parliament is prorogued today, early afternoon to be precise, marking the end of this parliamentary session. Two peers are set to be expelled for not attending a single sitting in the last quarter: 

Lord Rogers of Riverside – Labour life peer, better known as Richard Rogers, a very prominent Italian-British architect. 88 in July.
Lord Selsdon – Tory hereditary, member of the House since 1963(!), 84 in October

Additionally, another two were set to be expelled today for the same reasons, but they got a special "leave of absence" granted last night enabling them to stay on in absentia. They are:

Lord Lawson of Blaby – Tory life peer and former Chancellor, better known as Nigel Lawson. Turned 89 last month.
Lord Hanningfield – Non-affiilated peer, former leader of Essex Council and all round crook. Turns 81 in September.

Good chance several of them are poorly. I'll see if I can get any more info.

[msc 18,437]

I see you noted Lord Christopher's absence too. Lord Clarke (Labour, 89, not Ken) went on one last week too.

 

Also Derry Irvine was a regular voter in the Lords until the pandemic started and has just gone on a leave of absence last month?

60s category are not finished yet

The Dalai Lama shouldn't be included, because Tibet is not a nation state in the eyes of the U.N., or just in general tbh.

If you're going to wander that far down the path, then best check the other current and historical unrecognised states e.g. United Arab Republic, Abkhazia, Somaliland etc. etc. for living leaders of the past.
