Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the current Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has officially signified her interest to run for a second term.

This announcement positions her as the sole candidate for the WTO’s top position.

The WTO formally began the process of appointing its next Director-General on October 8, allowing member countries until November 8 to submit nominations.

In a message to members, the Chairman of the WTO General Council, Petter Olberg, disclosed that no additional nominations were received by the deadline.
