[Former Chilean President Withdrew from Selection for United Nations Secretary-General] September 20th: On September 19th, local time, former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet announced through social media platforms that she would give up running for the next United Nations Secretary-General. The selection of the next UN Secretary-General started in November last year. In addition to Bachelet, there are seven candidates. On September 18, the Security Council held a third round of intentional voting on this matter. Intentional voting is conducted behind closed doors, with only representatives of Security Council members present, and the voting results are not officially recorded or announced to the public. However, judging from the results of three rounds of intention voting revealed by the media, current United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Secretary-General Reveca Greenspan from Costa Rica and Guyana’s current Permanent Representative to the United Nations Caroline Rodriguez-Burkitt ranked high. The current United Nations Secretary-General Guterres is from Portugal. He took office in January 2017 and was re-elected in 2021. His term will be until December 31 this year.
