Michelle Bachelet Withdraws Candidacy for UN Secretary-General
Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has withdrawn her candidacy for United Nations Secretary-General after placing near the bottom in a Security Council straw poll, receiving one 'encourage' vote and 11 'discourage' votes. Backed by Mexico and Brazil, Bachelet noted her campaign highlighted the push for a female Latin American leader at the UN. She announced her decision via social media and plans to continue her international work.
