Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa
For the first time in his nine years as leader of the ruling party, Zuma, 73, faces a real threat to their power.
Some of the main representatives of the African National Congress, his party, are trying to oust him for his ties to a famous family accused of using their relationship to further their commercial interests and even influence appointments in government.
Urged the opposition to resign in Parliament last week, Zuma was defiant as ever about whether they had been offered ministerial posts to your friends.
"Do not ask me," he said. "Where do I fit into this?". Zuma overcame all his opponents so far and its control over most of the CNA is still strong. The question is whether its resistance can last.

Angela Merkel, German chancellor
It is those in power longer - a decade - and faces the greatest threat in history to his office because the Germans were split in relation to its policy of open borders during the biggest crisis of refugees from Europe since World War II World.
Internally, the Germans were also shaken by the terrorist attacks in Paris and now Brussels conducted by jihadists created in Europe. On March 13, voters gave the party Alternative for Germany, guidance anti-immigration, the most successful in history in regional elections.
Outside, the talent to mobilize European allies that it showed during the debt crisis of Greece seems to be missing it today. For now, Merkel, 61, remains firm: "I've been through storms before," she said in a campaign of his party this month event.

The EU agreement with Turkey to limit immigration fails and the civil war in Syria drags on. Merkel closes the borders of Germany and seeking reelection, but as a shadow of its former political figure.
David Cameron, the UK prime minister
Unlike the others, Cameron problems are more self-inflicted. Less than a year he got a surprising election victory, confounding his critics and leaving the opposition in disarray.
But if it is defeated in the referendum of June 23 to keep the UK within the EU it is difficult to see how you can keep the job.
He called the plebiscite to calm the Conservative Party, which is part of, but may have underestimated the level of support outside the common market between activists and parliamentarians.
Research in an increasingly divided and fragmented electorate suggest that the vote will be tight. If the UK choose to leave the EU, Scotland undoubtedly seek independence again.
So, Cameron, 49, could end up watching the unfolding of two bitter divorces before leaving office.

Cameron leaves his post for failing to sell the benefits of staying in the common block and is replaced by his longtime rival, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson.
The US president, Barack Obama
The second Obama term is coming to an end and he has been plagued by the race to replace him. The election campaign is one of the less conventional and more fierce in recent history and there are still eight months ahead.
Billionaire Donald Trump shocked the American political establishment and clearly irritated Obama, who could see many of their achievements will be closed if the Republicans regain the White House. "We have heard a vulgar rhetoric and division with women and minorities as a target," Obama said on 15 March.
The problem is that Trump's rise also reflects the points where the economy led by Obama failed, in particular the stagnation of wages. delayed effects of the recession that ended almost seven years ago hang on the presidential campaign. The main Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, is seen unfavorably by 52 percent of Americans, a survey released on 8 March.
Best result for him
He embraces Hillary after his victory, handing the White House keys to a Democrat with the certainty that his legacy is secure.
Worst result for him
A victory Trump point.
