The 20-year-old Who's Britain's Youngest MP(Member of Parliament) by SirLewis(op):
Mhairi Black, the freshly elected lawmaker from Scotland, will soon be heading down from her constituency of Paisley and Renfrewshire South to Westminster. But she has an immediate challenge ahead of her: getting her university degree (She's still an undergraduate)
Black is all of 20 years old. And Friday, she made history by becoming the youngest lawmaker in UK history since the 17th century.

Black grew up in Paisley, a working class town in the west of Scotland. From a young age, she would march for causes as diverse as support for a Scottish parliament and opposition to the Iraq war.
She was a vocal supporter of Scottish independence during last year's referendum campaign. She says that she "witnessed first hand the level of poverty and injustice prevalent in our society," touring some of the country's most deprived areas.
N.B: A Member of Parliament is equivalent to a Member of the House of Representatives under the Nigerian bicameral legislature.

He runs a state, Buhari on the other hand would be running a country.

Logically, which of them should be younger, state or Country?
