The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will conduct its third straw poll to select the next UN Secretary-General ahead of the General Assembly in New York. The vote, expected to take place in the coming days, will narrow down the list of candidates for the top UN post. The General Assembly, set to convene next week, will then formally elect the new leader. The process has seen several candidates shortlisted after initial rounds of voting. The final decision will be made by the 193-member General Assembly, with each nation having one vote. The upcoming poll marks the latest step in a lengthy selection process that has drawn attention from global leaders and diplomats.
