PM Hottest on Twitter?

PM Hottest on Twitter claims the NST.

Are the number of followers DS Najib Razak reflective of that statement? From my reading of his tweets there is very little wit or humor or for that matter information on national policy, neither does he interact with his followers, and these are the essential ingredients for one to follow another on twitter.

So how is it that DS Najib Razak has so many followers, could it be that people are just following him because he is the Prime Minister of Malaysia and it would be a natural choice for Malaysians to follow their Prime Minister?

Would DS Najib Razak have as many followers if he did not occupy the position of PM, would he be as popular if he was just DS Najib Razak President of UMNO and opposition leader?

Questions to ponder?
