Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won the online reader's poll for TIME Person of the Year. According to TIME Magazine, Modi won with 18 per cent of the vote when the poll closed Sunday at midnight. Prime Minister Modi was also placed significantly ahead of other prominent figures of this year, like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (2 per cent) and US Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton (4 per cent), Time said. It is for the second time that Modi has won the online readers’ poll for Time Person of the Year title, securing the honour in 2014, when he had got more than 16 per cent of the almost five million votes cast. Last year German Chancellor Angela Merkel was Time’s ‘Person of the Year’. Time's editors will decide the final Person of the Year later this week, but the online poll results provide a look at how the world sees these figures and PM Narendra Modi emerged as the most influential figure in 2016, according to the online poll. TIME Magazine’s Person Of The Year will be announced on December 7, and is selected by TIME Magazine editors.
