PM Narendra Modi is the most followed world leader on Facebook Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi rules on Facebook, according to a study published on Wednesday. Modi is by far the most followed world leader on the gargantuan social networking platform, counting 43.2 million followers. That is nearly twice the 23.1 million who follow Trump, confirms a study by communications firm Burson-Martsteller. The study, which analysed the activity of 650 personal and institutional Facebook pages of heads of state and government and foreign ministers since January 1, 2017, meanwhile showed that Trump easily counted most interactions on the platform. The US president counted a total of 204.9 million comments, likes and shares over the past 14 months -- nearly twice as many as Modi, who counted 113.6 million, the study said. It also found that Trump on average posts five times a day on Facebook, which is more than double the number of posts by Narendra Modi. Wednesday's study also highlighted the handful of world leaders who actually manage their Facebook pages themselves, instead of handing them off to social media teams. -PTC News
