For the first time in UN history, the General Assembly and the Security Council are following an open and transparent process for the selection of the next Secretary-General. General Assembly president Mogens Lykketoft organized public hearing in April 2016 where candidates stated their views and answered questions. Three straw polls have since taken place showing Antonio Guterres leading the race. The following shows the results of straw polls taken three times among UN Security Council members since July 2016.<\/p>\n<p><center><figure id=\"attachment_14620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14620\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shasegawa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/160921_02.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[14618]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shasegawa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/160921_02.jpg\" alt=\"(Source: Wikipedia [accessed on September 20, 2016])\" width=\"640\" height=\"417\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14620\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.shasegawa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/160921_02.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.shasegawa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/160921_02-448x292.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<div align=\"right\">(Source: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Nations_Secretary-General_selection,_2016\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/strong> [accessed on September 20, 2016])<\/div>\n<p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/center><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u3000A detailed written and oral report of the selection process may be accessed from<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecfr.eu\/article\/commentary_eu_indecision_on_un_secretary_general_choice_plays_to_7126\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ecfr.eu\/article\/commentary_eu_indecision_on_un_secretary_general_choice_plays_to_7126<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u3000Former UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Prime Minister of Portugal is most favored to succeed Ban Kim-moon as the next Secretary-General of the United Nations.
