The results of the first round of the informal voting in the United Nations Security Council have shown that former Costa Rican Vice President Rebecca Grynspan is the frontrunner for the UN Secretary-General position, receiving 10 "encouragement" votes. Following her is former Guyana Foreign Minister Caroline Rodrigues Birkett with 9 votes, then International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi in third place after surprising voting results. The candidates aim to avoid a veto from major powers, and the voting is conducted through a secret mechanism intended to identify the individual who will lead the international organization at a time when it faces challenges from crises and declining influence. The final candidate is expected to be referred to the General Assembly for approval, with an emphasis on selecting a Latin American figure, as many countries are seeking to see a woman appointed to this position for the first time.
