Guterres' successor race includes 7 contenders
The international community is preparing to select the tenth Secretary-General of the United Nations, to succeed António Guterres starting January 2027 for a five-year term. Seven candidates from Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean are vying for the position, among whom the Argentine diplomat Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, stands out with strong prospects due to his experience in nuclear affairs and his relationships with Security Council members. Other candidates include former Costa Rican Vice President Rebeca Grynspan, who advocates for reform of the organization; former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, seeking to re-engage in international affairs; and former Senegalese President Macky Sall, focused on reforming the Security Council and better representing developing countries. Also running are former Ecuadorian Foreign Minister María Fernanda Espinosa, diplomat Caroline Rodrigues-Burkett from Guyana, and Ugandan Ola Utono, emphasizing reform, sustainable development, artificial intelligence, and climate change.
