Michelle Bachelet, former president of Chile, faces challenges in her bid to become the next Secretary-General of the United Nations after informal straw polls conducted by members of the UN Security Council placed her in fourth place. The vote, held at the UN headquarters in New York, showed that six countries supported her candidacy, five opposed it, and four had no opinion. This result contrasts sharply with Costa Rica’s Rebeca Grynspan, who received strong support from ten countries. Other candidates include Guyana’s Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Argentina’s Rafael Grossi, and others. Bachelet’s campaign has lost backing from Chile due to recent political changes, and she now needs support from the five permanent members of the Security Council, including the United States under Donald Trump, which remains uncertain.
