After the withdrawal of the Mexican candidate, Al-Anani is close to leading UNESCO

The Mexican candidate for the position of Director-General of UNESCO, Gabriela Ramos, officially announced her withdrawal from the race in a post on LinkedIn. Observers believe that Ramos’ withdrawal was not a personal decision, but rather the result of internal complications and careful calculations surrounding the work of the troubled international organization. This makes Egyptian candidate Khaled El-Anany the frontrunner to lead the organization, backed by broad regional and international alliances, which has strengthened his position following the withdrawal of his main rival.
