Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, is leading an online poll of readers’ choice for Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ in 2016 honour. Other than Pm Narendra Modi, the Time’s Annual Poll has other contenders like US President-elect Donald Trump, the outgoing US leader Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Last year German Chancellor Angela Merkel was Time’s ‘Person of the Year’.

However, each year Time’s editors make the ultimate decision as to who from among world leaders, presidents, protesters, astronauts, pop icons and disrupters should be the person of the year, it also asks readers to cast their votes and decide who they think most shaped a particular year.

For the fourth year in a row, Modi is among the contenders for Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ honour, which the US publication bestows every year to the one “who has most influenced the news and our world in the past year, for good or ill.” Time said the reader poll is an “important window” into who they think most shaped 2016.

What is the scenario in initial voting for Time’s Person of the Year?

According to initial votes cast in the readers’ poll, Modi is leading with 21 per cent voting in his favour. For a while, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had overtaken Trump for the lead in the online poll, getting 10 percent of all the “yes” votes cast by participants, Time had said.

However, Modi has so far got 21 per cent votes, way ahead of Putin’s 6 percent, Obama’s 7 percent and Trump’s 6 percent. It will be interesting to see if Modi will be able to maintain his lead as votes polled may change by the time voting on the reader’s choice poll ends on December 4.

Time also analysed the moments from 2016 when this year’s poll contenders were most talked about. For PM Modi. it was October 16 when the Indian leader had suggested during a summit of BRICS nations in Goa that Pakistan is the “mothership” for terrorism.

Contenders for the poll

Other than Modi, trump, Putin and Obama, the other contenders this year are Republican’s US President Nominee  Hillary Clinton, FBI Chief James Comey, Apple CEO Tim Cook, parents of slain Muslim-American soldier Humanyun Khan, Khizr and Ghazala Khan, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, British Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Modi had won the readers’ poll of Time’s Person of the Year in 2014, securing more than 16 per cent of the almost five million votes cast. He was again among the contenders for the annual honour in 2015 but was not among the final eight candidates shortlisted by Time magazine editors for the title.

“In 2016, the news and our world were subject to a wide range of influences. A presidential campaign in the United States exposed deep-seated fissures and led to the election of a president without precedent in the nation’s history. Elsewhere, leaders like Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan commanded the spotlight on a global stage,” Time said.
