The United Nations has not yet found a successor to Secretary-General António Guterres. In the latest straw poll of the UN Security Council, according to diplomats, not a single one of the seven candidates passed. ORF ↗
The vote was aimed at assessing contenders for the post of Secretary-General, currently held by António Guterres. According to available information, none of the candidates managed to secure the necessary support of all the veto-wielding states on the Security Council. Die Zeit ↗
The result means that the selection of Guterres's successor remains open. The vetoing powers hold a decisive position in the process, since without their consent no candidate can be recommended for approval by the UN General Assembly.
The latest vote also showed that sufficient consensus has not yet emerged among the contenders. The organization will have to continue negotiations and seek a candidate who can gain broader support on the Security Council. The names of all the contenders, as well as details of the individual votes, have not yet been made public.
