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 30%, Rafael Grossi 28%, Michelle Bachelet 4%. The market has traded $80K in total volume and resolves Feb 28, 2026. Rebeca Grynspan leads trader consensus at 45% amid her strong showing in the Security Council’s first informal straw poll in late July 2026, where she secured the most “encourage” votes among formally nominated candidates. Her background as UNCTAD head and former Costa Rican vice president, combined with broad Latin American backing, positions her as the early frontrunner in a process that requires Security Council consensus before General Assembly approval. Rafael Grossi trails closely due to his IAEA leadership and diplomatic profile, while Colombe Cahen-Salvador’s 29.8% reflects speculative interest in non-traditional voices despite lacking official state nomination. Other listed contenders like Michelle Bachelet and María Fernanda Espinosa remain lower as regional dynamics and additional straw polls unfold.
