Danilo Türk allegedly dropped to the fourth place.

Diplomatic sources say that once again the most votes went to the former UN High Commissioner for refugees Antonio Guterres. This time Guterres received 11 ‘encouragement’ votes, two ‘no opinion’ votes, and 2 ‘discouragement’ votes.

While Türk placed second of the 12 candidates at the first test vote on July 21, today he dropped to the fourth place. As announced on Twitter by the World Federation of United Nations Association (WFUNA), he received seven votes of support and three neutral votes; five states advised him against candidature.
