How the next WTO chief will be chosen and the task ahead

 

The candidates have been given two months to campaign until September 7. Normally this would involve trips to national capitals, but with the pandemic much of that is being done in a virtual format.

In so-called โ€œconfessionalsโ€, members will tell this โ€œtroikaโ€ their preferences, without ranking them and without vetoes in a process expected to last two months. The first phase will be on Sept 7-16. Voting on the next director-general is seen only as a last resort if consensus cannot be reached.
