Note on the data. Prime ministers and their years are those of Ribbia's quiz on UK prime ministers since 1900, which follows GOV.UK's list of past prime ministers (read on 3 October 2026). Prime ministers, their years in office and their parties are those of the National Archives of Australia's page on Australia's prime ministers and its fast facts, read on 3 October 2026, which lists Anthony Albanese in office since 2022. Prime ministers and their dates are those of the Prime Minister's Office's list of former prime ministers, read on 3 October 2026, with Narendra Modi in office since 26 May 2014 as its home page shows. Gulzari Lal Nanda, listed twice as acting prime minister, is included as the list includes him. A prime minister counts when in office at any time since 1945.
