The first appointed Supreme Mugwump was Pierre Bonaccord. However, his appointment was contested by Warlocks in Lichtenstein "due to his opinions on stopping Troll-hunting and rights for Trolls".
Albus Dumbledore was also appointed Supreme Mugwump, but was dismissed from his position after the Ministry of Magic rejected his position that Lord Voldemort had returned.
Dumbledore was restored as a member of the Confederation after the Ministry's acceptance of Voldemort's return, but not as Supreme Mugwump.
However, if you're thinking that Corbyn could be well-suited to be a socialist Dumbledore, think twice because J.K. doesn't agree. In a tweet from August last year, she rejected the comparison:
