Who will be the next Secretary-General of the UN?

Traders currently price "Rebeca Grynspan" at 45% for "Who will be the next Secretary-General of the UN?". Full distribution: Rebeca Grynspan 45%, Colombe Cahen-Salvador 35%, Rafael Grossi 28%, Michelle Bachelet 4%. The market has traded $80K in total volume and resolves Feb 28, 2026. The closely contested UN Secretary-General race reflects a fragmented field of candidates amid an ongoing selection process that began in late 2025, with interactive dialogues held through mid-2026 and initial Security Council straw polls now underway. Rebeca Grynspan holds a modest edge thanks to her UNCTAD leadership, Costa Rican nomination, and broad member-state outreach, yet Colombe Cahen-Salvador’s reform-focused platform and activist appeal keep pressure on the top spot, while Rafael Grossi’s IAEA experience attracts support from those prioritizing technical diplomacy. Regional rotation norms, gender considerations, and P5 preferences remain decisive variables that could widen gaps once more straw polls and formal endorsements clarify alignments before the 2027 transition.
