Oslo: Some 287 candidates will be considered for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, the secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said on Thursday, with US President Donald Trump likely to be among the nominees. Of this year’s nominations, 208 are individuals and 79 are organizations and there were many new nominees compared to last year.
The leaders of Cambodia, Israel and Pakistan have said they nominated Trump for this year’s prize. Their nominations, if made, would have been done in spring and summer 2025, and they are therefore valid given the deadline was January 31.
There is no way of verifying they have done as they have said as nominations remain secret for 50 years and Harpviken declined to say on Thursday whether Trump had been nominated.
This year’s Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 9, while the ceremony will take place on December 10. — Reuters
