UN: Why Macky Sall Is Taking a Big Risk This Tuesday, September 29, 2026

On September 29, 2026, the UN Security Council conducts its final indicative vote to select the next Secretary-General, with Macky Sall as a candidate. Sall received only 5 favorable votes out of 15, a decline from previous rounds. His chances now depend on the support of the permanent members, especially against Olara Otunnu, with regional rotation possibly favoring Latin America.
