World's Smallest Woman becomes Indian Politician

Jyoti Amge, 18, who stands just 62.8cm (2ft 6ins) tall, has revealed her very big ambitions - after turning her hand to politics to become the world's smallest election campaigner.

She 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 recognised as the world's smallest woman on her last birthday in December by Guinness World Records officials.

Jyoti had shown her support for the local right wing party in the local municipal elections this week.

However, she fears her diminuitive status means she has become too famous. 

She said: 'One of the problems with being famous is people mob you wherever you go. 'Many of them ask very irritating questions. If I were not the shortest woman in the world, I would not have become famous.'
