This can be any head of Government - Federal, State, or Local. ie. President, Governor, or Mayors only. Those elected in 2024 who have not yet taken office at the end of the year also counts (ex. President-elect). It must be a successful assassination, attempts don't count.

90 percent chance the mayor of some town is killed.

predicts NO 1y

@BTE No, the last mayor listed as assassinated on Wikipedia was Mike Swoboda in 2008. Wikipedia may not be perfect, but he was the mayor of a tiny town in Missouri so I figure it likely mayors of tiny towns get listed there.

@RobertCousineau Things seem pretty spicy right now though…

@4mur1c4 people have been saying saying that for a bit too long for me to care.
