Sir Anthony Joseph Mamo, OBE, QC, (born January 9, 1909) son of Joseph Mamo and Carla Brincat, was the first President of Malta when the country became a republic on December 13th, 1974, and held the office until 1976. He was previously Governor-General, representing Elizabeth II as Queen of Malta, when the country was a Commonwealth realm. He was also the first Maltese citizen to be appointed Governor-General, and before independence, briefly served as acting Governor.
Mamo has been the world's oldest living former head of state since Somalian President Aden Abdullah Osman Daar died on June 8, 2007.
