Joseph Ward
Joseph Ward served as the Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1928 to 1930. His leadership was marred by health issues, leading to frequent absences from Parliament and poor decision-making during his tenure. Ward's second term was characterized by attempts by his close associates to downplay his declining health, which ultimately culminated in his resignation. He passed away at the age of 74, with his death certificate citing multiple health complications, including 'senile decay,' diabetes, and thrombosis. His case highlights the challenges of political leadership in the face of serious health issues, a theme that resonates with discussions on the need for transparency regarding the health of public leaders.
