Time magazine named German Chancellor Angela Merkel its “Person of the Year 2015” for the annual honour because her leadership has helped preserve and promote an open, borderless Europe in the face of economic turmoil and an ongoing refugee crisis.
Contenders :
- Islamic State leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and Republican presidential hopefulDonald Trump were among the eight candidates shortlisted by Time.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and Google’s India-born CEO Sundar Pichai were among the initial 58 global leaders, business chiefs and pop icons that Time had named as contenders for its annual honour.
- Mr. Modi was a contender for the honour last year also and while he was not chosen the Person of the Year by Time editors, he was named winner of the readers’ poll.
