Irina Bokova is among the top candidates for the UN Secretary-General position with 9 votes received during the secret ballot. Macedonian Srgjan Kerim received the same support, alongside former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić. Ex-Premier of Portugal António Guterres tops the rankings for the position with 12 positive votes. The preponderance of East Europe is obvious. Irina Bokova is first among the ladies candidates and the only lady from East Europe. The widespread thesis that a woman should take over the position gives reasons to different analysts to say that Bokova will head the UN.
