UN holds second informal poll for next leader
There is a good chance that some nominees realise after (Friday's) vote that their campaigns have reached the end of the road.
The United Nations' Security Council is set to conduct a second informal poll on Friday to determine the potential next leader of the organization. Costa Rica's Rebeca Grynspan emerged as the frontrunner after the first informal vote last month, with other candidates including Argentina's Rafael Grossi, Chile's Michelle Bachelet, and several others.
The second round of voting aims to provide insight into the evolving preferences of the council members, with diplomats anticipating shifts in the vote distribution. The veto-wielding nations, including Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States, may hold off on expressing their preferences until later. A candidate must secure the support of nine out of the 15 council members to advance, while avoiding a veto from the five major powers who hold a significant influence over the process.
