UNITED NATIONS—Norway and Ireland won contested seats on the U.N. Security Council Wednesday, in a series of U.N. elections held under dramatically different voting procedures because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the other contested race, neither Kenya nor Djibouti received the required two-thirds majority in voting in the 193-member General Assembly, and Assembly President Tijjani Muhammad-Bande announced that a second ballot will be held on Thursday.
