The ongoing selection process for António Guterres’s successor, whose second term as UN Secretary-General ends on December 31, 2026, underpins the 62.5% implied probability that he will not depart the role earlier. Security Council straw polls in July and August 2026 revealed no consensus among candidates, with divisions among permanent members over regional rotation and specific nominees from Latin America and the Caribbean. The United States has signaled opposition to any temporary extension beyond the term’s end, while formal nomination procedures continue without reports of pressure for an early exit or removal. Geopolitical tensions and the lack of a veto-proof frontrunner sustain uncertainty around a smooth January 2027 transition but leave little basis for anticipating Guterres’s departure ahead of schedule.
