Macky Sall at the UN: Diomaye Faye Lucky Charm or Burden? – La Nouvelle Tribune

Macky Sall received only five out of fifteen votes in the latest Security Council vote on September 29, five days after Bassirou Diomaye Faye's advocacy at the UN. The Senegalese government's official support since July has not translated into strong backing, with Sall's scores remaining low in successive indicative votes. Diomaye Faye, who urged member states to support Sall, claimed Senegal's backing, but some political groups and associations have expressed discomfort with this support. The race for Guterres' successor is led by other candidates such as Rebeca Grynspan, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, and Rafael Grossi.
