I'm not 100 percent sure if he's alive, but government sites have no death date and pt wikipedia has marked him alive, if it turns out he's dead I'll remove him. Lígia Maria Lessa Bastos (1919-2020) Member of Parliament 1975-1983. Ancient and most recent picture I could find is from 2015, when she was already wheelchairbound. Alive? Edit: Died in 2020 at 101. Milton Bezerra Cabral (1921-2022) Governor of the State of Paraiba in the 80s. Died a week after his 101st. José Ornellas de Sousa Filho (1921) Governor of Brazil's Federal District in the 80s.

Francisco Ferreira de Castro (1923) former Member of Parliament José Burnett (1924) Three-time Member of Parliament. Alive? José Frejat (1924) Member of Parliament 1979-1987. Has been a member of seven parties during his 75-year political career and most recently participated in Rio de Janeiro's 2018 elections! Alfredo Karam (1925) Minister of the Navy in the 1980s.

Ibrahim Abi-Ackel (1927) Minister of Justice 1980-1985 Alceu Collares (1927) Governor of Rio Grande do Sul 1991-1995. Seems to be doing great. Antônio Salim Curiati (1928) Former Mayor of Sao Paulo. Old pal of Maluf. Antônio Delfim Netto (1928) Former Minister of Finance 1967-1974, Agriculture 1979, Minister of the Department of Planning of the Presidency 1979-1984. Looks like an obese Jiang Zemin but seems to be doing well. José Goldemberg (1928) Former Minister of Education. Eunice Michiles (1929) Member of Parliament 1987-1991, Senator 1979-1987. First (democratically elected) woman Senator in Brazil. Looks around 20 years younger.

Some of those who held it before 2000 are alive, all 80+.
