List of centenarians (politicians and civil servants)

This list compiles individuals who served as politicians or civil servants and lived to be 100 years of age or older (centenarians). Inclusion requires documented evidence of both their political or civil service role and their attainment of centenarian status. "Politician" encompasses elected officials at the local, regional, or national level, as well as appointed political figures such as ministers and advisors. "Civil servant" refers to individuals employed in the public sector in a non-political capacity, typically in administrative or executive roles.

This list may include:

• Elected officials: Members of parliament, congress, local councilors, mayors, etc.
• Appointed political figures: Ministers, secretaries of state, political advisors.
• High-ranking civil servants: Permanent secretaries, directors-general, ambassadors (serving as career diplomats).

This list generally excludes:

• Military personnel: Unless they later transitioned to a political or civil service role.
• Judges: While holding a public office, this list primarily focuses on the executive and legislative branches.
• Activists and campaigners: Unless they subsequently held an official political or civil service position.

The list is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, but limitations in available biographical data may result in omissions. Information is sourced from publicly available records, reputable biographical sources, and news archives. Entries should include the individual's name, country of service, a brief description of their political or civil service role, and their lifespan (birth and death dates). The list is organized alphabetically by surname.

[Further sections would then list the individuals according to the criteria defined above. For example:

• Doe, John: (United States), Mayor of Anytown (1950-1960), (1900-2000)
• Smith, Jane: (United Kingdom), Permanent Secretary, Department of Something (1970-1980), (1905-2005) ]

The list is maintained to provide a record of those who dedicated a significant portion of their lives to public service and achieved exceptional longevity. Additions and corrections are welcome, provided they are supported by reliable sources.
