LONDON: The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is poised to re-elect Haitham al-Ghais of Kuwait for a second three-year term as Secretary General during a virtual meeting on December 10, according to four group delegates.
The meeting, scheduled to begin at 12:30 GMT, is expected to focus solely on administrative matters and conclude quickly, one source noted.
Al-Ghais, who assumed the role in January 2022, succeeded Nigeria’s Mohammad Barkindo as the head of OPEC. The organization has yet to comment on the upcoming decision.
Al-Ghais’s leadership has been marked by efforts to navigate global energy challenges while maintaining unity among member states.
