Security Council urges Sall to withdraw
Former Senegalese President Macky Sall announced his withdrawal from the race for the United Nations Secretary-General position after the sixth round of voting in the Security Council, which showed a decline in his chances of gaining the required support. He received five supporting votes compared to ten opposing votes, including three votes from permanent members. The results reflect a likelihood of favoring a candidate from Latin America or a woman, thereby increasing the chances of an acceptable consensus candidate for Security Council members. The focus remains on the ongoing competition among the remaining candidates, as the current Secretary-General António Guterres' term ends in December 2026.
