List of longest-living state leaders

This article lists the 100 oldest heads of state or heads of government of sovereign states, often presidents or prime ministers[1], since the early modern period onwards. This list includes those who were or are leaders over a sovereign and internationally recognized state. States with limited recognition are not included (exceptions being for states considered independent in their own right, including members of the Warsaw Pact).[note 1] Leaders who do not have any reliable source about their death currently or have been alive according to a source more than 10 years old are not included in the list. The longest-lived verifiable state leader is Chau Sen Cocsal Chhum of Cambodia at the age of 103 years, 143 days[2]. Muhammad al-Muqri of Morocco is the only state leader who could have lived longer, possibly to the age of 103 years, 219 days[3], while the status of state leader of César Yanes Urías of El Salvador[4] and Josip Manolić of Croatia[5], who have lived to the ages of 104 years, 224 days and 104 years, 24 days respectively, is unclear. Leaders who are currently living are in bold and green, with Guillermo Rodríguez of Ecuador being the longest-living of those at the age of 102 years, 338 days[6].

Notes

edit
  1. ↑ For states since the United Nations was formed, having significant international recognition by the international community or being an Observer state is enough for entering the main list.
