It said that 43.2 million people follow him on Facebook, while Trump, who rules the other social media platform Twitter, is in second place with 23.1 million followers.
The study analyses the activity of 650 Facebook pages of heads of state and government and foreign ministers from January 1, 2017, using aggregate data from Facebook’s Crowdtangle tool, it said in a statement.
Over the past 14 months, the Facebook page of Trump had by far the most interactions of any world leader on Facebook, with a total of 204.9 million interactions (defined as the total number of comments, likes and shares), almost twice as many as Modi with 113.6 million interactions, the study said.
