According to AFP, the EU is expected to publicly release a statement of support for Candidate Okhonjoyweala on the 27th.

Although no agreement was reached at the first meeting, it was reported that the support for Candidate Okonjoyweala was solidified at later meetings. One European source called for seven countries to record in a statement that they preferred Yu, but others noted that supporting Okonjoyweala was a clear signal to Africa and a sign of mutual trust Told. Nigerian candidate Okonjoyweala served as Nigerian Finance and Foreign Minister and Executive Director of the World Bank.

Since the 19th, the WTO has been conducting a final preference survey on 164 member states for Yoo and Candidate Okonjoyweala. The investigation is scheduled until the 27th. The secretary general will be elected next month through the process of consensus before November 7th, the deadline for election.
