World’s youngest leaders
Agency Report
As Gabriel Boric becomes Chile’s youngest-ever president at 35, we look at the world’s youngest leaders.
The leftwinger is far from the youngest person heading a government.
That title is presently held by 26-year-old Giacomo Simoncini, one of the Captains Regent of San Marino, the tiny independent state in northern Italy.
Here is our list of other youthful leaders in power:
– Finland: Premier Sanna Marin, who got into hot water last week for going to a disco despite being in contact with someone who had tested positive for Covid, is 36. She got the top job in 2019 aged 34.
– Kosovo: Another woman leader, Vjosa Osmani, was elected president in April aged 38.
