JIMMY Carter, a straightforward and determined Southern governor who rose to the presidency in 1976 but served only one term after being turned away by disillusioned voters, passed away on Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia.

His son, James E. Carter III, also known as Chip, confirmed his death. Carter, who lived to be 100, held the distinction of being the longest-living U.S. president.

After leaving office, he embarked on a remarkable post-presidential career, including winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

World leaders expressed their condolences following the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 100.

Carter, the 39th American president, was known for his impactful foreign policy achievements, including brokering a historic Middle East peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, normalizing diplomatic ties with China, and signing treaties that transferred control of the Panama Canal to Panama.

In 2002, Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his relentless efforts in promoting peaceful conflict resolution, advancing democracy and human rights, and fostering economic and social development globally.

However, his presidency was marred by criticism over his handling of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, during which 52 American citizens were held hostage for 444 days by Iranian revolutionaries who stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran in response to U.S. support for Iran’s authoritarian ruler, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.
