The Bureau of the Assembly of the African Union #AU, representing Africa’s five regions and chaired by #Burundi President Évariste Ndayishimiye, has approved the candidacy of former #Senegalese President Macky Sall for UN Secretary General, for "consideration and adoption by the Assembly through the silence procedure". Macky Sall will be the African Union’s consensus candidate if "no objections are received from more than one-third of Member States eligible to vote by Close of Business on 27 March 2026, in accordance with the applicable Rules of Procedure." The Bureau says Macky Sall has "recognized leadership experience" and that his "pragmatic and results-oriented approaches, his international network, and his track record, grounded in his commitment to seeking consensus among nations and global powers" fit the profile for the United Nations’ top position.
