Sweden formed a broad centre-left coalition while a new Dominican party was launched.
Rebeca Grynspan was chosen as the next United Nations Secretary-general on Thursday. In Sweden, the Social Democrats joined forces with the Left Party, the Centre Party and the Liberals to assemble a broad centre-left coalition on Sunday. A new political party led by Alofoke was registered in the Dominican Republic by the end of June. The Iranian regime remained in power, and Israel's Ra'am party was not included in the new government.
The vote concluded on Thursday, confirming Grynspan over other candidates. Member states cast their ballots in a secret poll at the UN headquarters. The appointment follows the customary rotation among regional groups.
