I just chanced upon this nice (or not) word in the https://www.etymonline.com/word/*kakka- :
kakistocracy!
Now whom does this make me think of? Several indeed.

This one however <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakistocracy> leads me

I await for the rest of your list of candidates.

Thanks for that. It happens when you edit and re-edit the same sentence
several times. It takes a lot of effort to arrive at the wrong version.

You can add Xi and Kim (in Dutch Jong Oen means young nitwit:-).
Just saw another docu about the fate of women with the Taliban, so you
can add the latter too.
Don't forget "de Vladde" (Vladimir).
For Africa there is a little list of former and not quite former ones.
Same of America and Asia, say, the world. Pick out yours.
