Tan Desai’s intention to be re-elected as secretary-general of the WHO was revealed, and even his home country refused to support

The World Health Organization (WHO) Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been severely criticized for cooperating with the Chinese Communist authorities in concealing and delaying warnings about the outbreak. Now it is rumored that the WHO will elect a new secretary-general next year, and the 56-year-old has plans to seek re-election, but according to foreign media, Tedros is afraid that he may not even be able to win support in his home country of Ethiopia.

The U.S. healthcare news site Stat News reports that Tan, who became WHO secretary-general in 2017 with strong support from the Chinese Communist Party, will serve out his term in 2022. In public appearances, Tan evaded questions about whether he would run for re-election, but sources close to the situation said Tan intends to continue his challenge for another five-year term.

The newspaper pointed out that Tan Desai has had several major health crises during his tenure, just one year in office, the Ebola virus outbreak in northeastern Congo, Africa, is the second time in the history of large-scale transmission of Ebola virus, it took 2 years to get under control, but the new crown (Chinese Communist Party virus) outbreak has come one after another.

Instead of alerting international attention to the epidemic at the first opportunity, Tan Desai went to China to “meet” with Xi Jinping, the head of the Chinese Communist Party. This has triggered strong international criticism. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized the WHO, led by Ted Tam, as a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party and withdrew from the WHO in anger, and now Tam and the WHO have lost credibility.

As of May 4, more than 150 million people have been diagnosed worldwide, with more than 3.2 million deaths. The outside world assesses that the anger of countries has reached its peak, and the demand for Tan Desai to step down is growing.

According to Reuters, the key to Tan Desai’s re-election lies in the support of African countries, but there are rumors that his own home country, Ethiopia, does not support.

The election process for the 2022-2027 WHO secretary-general began in April, with the list to be announced at the end of October, and a new secretary-general to be voted on at the 2022 World Health Assembly.
