Nigeria Wins Seat In The United Nations Security Council by JMOI: 4:21pm On Oct 17, 2013 |
Nigeria was one of the only two countries in Africa that were vying for the position. The other country was Chad. It is the fifth time Nigeria will serve as a non-permanent member of the UN. We secured 186 votes out of 193 votes. |

The countries were elected in the first round of voting by the 193-member General Assembly. Lithuania was the top vote-getter with 187 votes followed by Nigeria and Chile with 186 votes, Chad with 184 votes and Saudi Arabia with 176 votes. Security Council seats are highly coveted because they give countries a strong voice in matters dealing with international peace and security, in places like Syria, Iran and North Korea, as well as the U.N.’s far-flung peacekeeping operations. The 15-member council includes five permanent members with veto power — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France — and 10 nonpermanent members elected for two-year terms. The five countries elected Thursday will assume their posts on Jan. 1 and serve through the end of 2015. They will replace Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Morocco, Pakistan and Togo. |
