Tlaleng Mofokeng, who holds an independent UN mandate, is running for mayor of Johannesburg in South Africa. Hillel Neuer of UN Watch described the situation as a shocking conflict of interest.

Neuer stated that an immediate transition from the UN role to partisan political office would raise serious questions about independence and impartiality, even if she resigned beforehand.
