Longest serving president: A thread

[zion-francis]

Hi everyone 💞💞

Yesterday I was watching the news on one of the very top news channel BBC to be precise and a particular news story caught my attention, the re- election of the Ugandan president, Yoweri museveni. After some time I switched to another channel and same news popped up. All the while as I was listening, something kept reoccurring, "Longest serving president" i got curious and decided to look it up

Apparently the Ugandan president has just won his sixth term in office as in his 1 2 3 4 5 6th term in office. That long right??. As at this time, he has spent a total of thirty three years(33) in office.

So out of curiosity I went further to check on other long serving president from around the globe and I found out that he is not even the longest serving and that there are some ahead of him.

Here is a thread of longest serving presidents from around the world and how long they were in office

• Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo
  Country: Equitorial Guinea
  Years in office : 39

---

• Paul Biya
  Country: Cameroon
  Years in office: 36

---

• Yoweri Moseveni
  Country: Uganda
  Years in office: 33

---

• Omar Al Bashir
  Country: Sudan
  Years in office: 29
  

---

• Idris Deby Itno
  Country: Chad
  Years in office: 28

---

Decided to do a list of top 5. Apparently, on a lighter note for all of these leaders, the number of years they have spent individually is atleast a year older than the number of years I have spent on this Earth so far😁.

This is all guys, hope you enjoyed going through this

            Thanks for viewing 💞

See you next time

Hi there :3 Resident American here. Sounds like you're from somewhere else?...Are you in the UK? If so, I have some questions for you. Unrelated to this very educational post, but somewhat relevant.
