A United Nations Secretary-General selection is expected to be held in 2026 to choose the next Secretary-General of the United Nations. This market will resolve according to the listed person who is officially chosen to be the next Secretary-General of the United Nations in this selection process. Temporary, interim, or placeholder Secretary-Generals appointed before the next Secretary-General selection will not count. If no United Nations Secretary-General selection takes place or the results of this selection are not known by June 30, 2027, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United Nations; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The closely matched trader prices among Rafael Grossi, Achim Steiner, Rebeca Grynspan, and Colombe Cahen-Salvador reflect an unusually open 2026 UN Secretary-General race, with no candidate securing broad early backing ahead of Security Council straw polls. Multiple Latin American nominees bring strong UN agency experience and regional support, while the push for the first female leader and P5 veto dynamics keep probabilities balanced. Recent interactive dialogues, town halls, and the first two straw polls have not produced a clear frontrunner, sustaining uncertainty. Separation could emerge from subsequent confidential polls, formal endorsements by key member states, or shifts in great-power alignment before the General Assembly vote.
