On Friday, a secret Security Council poll saw Rebeca Grynspan, 70, who previously served as Costa Rica's vice president, receive nine "encourage" votes, though five were cast against her. She told Reuters on Thursday that the UN must accept the cost of failing and try again, and must cut top jobs and bureaucracy. Antonio Guterres, the current UN chief, leaves on 31 December.
