Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet announced on Saturday the withdrawal of her candidacy for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations. She had been seeking to succeed the current Secretary-General, António Guterres, whose term is scheduled to conclude at the end of 2026.
This decision removes a prominent figure from the potential field of candidates for the top UN post. The announcement marks a significant development in the lead-up to the leadership transition process for the international organization.
