Fewer candidates in fray as UN chief race unfolds in divided globe
April 21, 2026
|The New Indian Express Vellore
UNITED NATIONS
-
Four candidates to be the next secretary-general of the United Nations will audition for the job this week, far fewer than there were 10 years ago when Antonio Guterres was selected as UN chief.
Chile’s former President Michelle Bachelet — one of two women and one of three from Latin America — will be the first to face ambassadors from the UN’s 193 member nations during a three-hour question-and-answer session on Tuesday. Bachelet will be followed by UN nuclear chief Rafael Mariano Grossi of Argentina.
On Wednesday, UN trade chief Rebeca Grynspan will take center stage in the General Assembly hall, and finally, Senegal’s former President Macky Sall. In 2016, a hotly contested race drew 13 candidates. What has changed?
