World’s Smallest Women in Election

The world's smallest woman has disclosed her very big ambitions - after turning her hand to politics to become the world's smallest election campaigner.

Jyoti Amge, who stands just 62.8cm (2ft 6ins) tall, was seen supporting candidates of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) party, ahead of the forthcoming civic election in Mumbai, India.

The 18-year-old was officially recognized as the world's smallest woman on her last birthday in December by Guinness World Records officials. Jyoti weighs just 12lbs (5.5kg) - only 9lbs more than she did at birth - and has a form of dwarfism call achondroplasia, which stopped her growing after her first birthday.

This was not Amge's first Guinness record. Until her 18th birthday she was considered the world's shortest teenager, but in turning 18 qualified for the new title.
