Which cardinals are seen as contenders to be the next pope?

  • Following Pope Francis's death in April 2025, cardinals worldwide must gather in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel to elect his successor.
  • This conclave process occurs typically 15 to 20 days after the pope's death and requires cardinals under 80 to vote in secret ballots.
  • Several leading candidates have emerged, including Cardinals Luis Antonio Tagle from the Philippines, Pietro Parolin from Italy, and Peter Turkson from Ghana, each with distinct backgrounds and Church roles.
  • Tagle, 67, is often seen as the frontrunner linked to Pope Francis's social justice focus; Parolin, 70, is a diplomatic figure and possible compromise; Turkson, 70, could become the first African pope.
  • The conclave outcome remains uncertain due to varying ideological positions and candidates' ages, suggesting a potentially prolonged selection process.
