Greenspan Ahead in UN Leadership Race
Seven candidates, including four women, are competing for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations in the upcoming session, after António Guterres's term ends at the end of 2026. The initial straw poll was conducted in the Security Council, where Costa Rican Rebecca Greenspan led the results, ahead of a candidate from Guyana, with Rafael Grossi placing third. The usual practice is geographical rotation, with a preference for a candidate from Latin America, especially as several countries support the election of a woman for the first time. To be selected, a candidate must receive the support of at least 9 out of the 15 Security Council members and avoid a veto from any of the major powers. This situation makes the contest open and likely to continue for several months.
