OPEC set to re-elect SecGen Al-Ghais for second term

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is set re-elect current secretary general Haitham al-Ghais for a second three-year term at a virtual meeting on Dec. 10, four delegates from the group told Reuters.

The meeting is expected to be brief, handling only administrative matters, one of the sources said.

Kuwait's al-Ghais became head of the organisation in January 2022, succeeding Nigeria's Mohammad Barkindo.

OPEC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
