World's '80s Brigade' Leaders Defy Age in Global Politics

Some of the world's most powerful leaders are very old, and they are still working hard.

People say 'age is just a number,' and these leaders show that experience matters in politics.

Brazil's President Lula is 80 years old and wants to be president for a fourth time.

The United States' President Donald Trump was 78 when he won the 2024 election, making him the oldest person ever elected US president.

Trump also shared a message about 'TRUMP 2028,' making people wonder if he might try to stay in power longer.

Cameroon's President Paul Biya is 93 and is the oldest serving leader in the world.

In India, politicians like Farooq Abdullah, Mallikarjun Kharge, Sharad Pawar and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda are also active even though they are in their eighties or nineties.

Different countries have different political systems, but they share one thing: leaders are staying in politics much longer.

These older leaders show that getting older does not mean stepping aside.
