NEW YORK: Robert Cornegy Jr., New York City councilman having a height of 6-foot-10 (208 centimeters) has been named tallest politician in the world.

Cornegy says he went for the title two years ago after a constituent jokingly told him “you have to be the tallest politician ever.” Cornegy says being tall has its challenges, especially shopping for shoes and clothes.

The previous record holder was a Sir Louis Gluckstein, British member of Parliament, who measured 6-foot-7-1/2 inches (202 centimeters). He died in 1979 and was succeeded by another British politician who stood at 6-foot-6 inches (198 centimeters).
