Time omits Mahinda
Friday, 22 April 2011
altPresident Mahinda Rajapaksa has been omitted from the final list of Time magazines 100 most influential people in the world, which was announced today, despite being selected in the online poll. While the President was ranked fourth at the time online voting in the poll closed yesterday, the final 100 selected by the Editors of the prestigious magazine saw him being dropped.
However President Rajapaksa was not the only one omitted from the final list selected by the Editors of Time magazine as several others, including some who were in the top 10 with the President when polling was underway, were also omitted. Internet activist Wael Ghonim was selected as the most influential person in the world as his work led to the revolution in the Middle East which saw Egyptians removing Hosni Mubarak and his regime.
