Herlihy remains the only living current or ex-president (unless you count Pratt, who stepped in as an interim when a president died in office). Ian Kjestrup (the first elected president) and Murt Kennard (who presided from 2005-2015) have both passed away, not to mention Billy the Gumboot goat (there were rumours of poisoning) and Tai the poodle who died of old age (despite speculation of an assassination attempt by another dog). No, you don't have to be human to be president of Whangamōmona; Sherman the ****atoo, Eunice the sheep and other animals have also run for election.
