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.
