About
Macky Sall is a former President of Senegal who has announced his candidacy for the position of United Nations Secretary General. He was previously in power from 2012 to 2020 and has maintained his bid despite lack of support from the African Union, which blocked his nomination by 20 out of 55 member states. The UN Security Council will select Guterres' successor later this year. Sall's candidacy has been overshadowed by other contenders, including Michelle Bachelet from Chile. His bid for the top UN post highlights his international ambitions and potential influence in global politics.
