The UN Security Council has held its fifth straw poll in the ongoing process to select a successor to Secretary-General António Guterres, according to a report.
The council's president for October said each candidate would be informed of their results through the permanent representatives of their respective nominating member states.
Selection process
Straw polls are a customary, informal step in the Security Council's process of narrowing the field of candidates before a formal recommendation is made to the UN General Assembly.
The report did not specify the number of candidates still in contention or the results of this particular round of voting.
The selection process is expected to continue in the coming weeks as the council works toward identifying Guterres's successor.
