VATICAN CITY — The Vatican announced that no new Pope has been elected following the third ballot in the ongoing conclave.

Black smoke was seen rising from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, indicating that the cardinals have not yet reached a consensus on the 267th Pope.

The conclave, which began earlier this week, is being held to select a successor for Pope Francis. A two-thirds majority among the 133 cardinal-electors is required to elect a new Pope. Black smoke signifies that the vote has not resulted in a conclusive decision.

Around 15,000 people gathered in St. Peter’s Square, awaiting any news of the election.

The cardinals remain sequestered within the Vatican, adhering to the tradition that ensures confidentiality during the election process. They will continue deliberating in the Sistine Chapel and casting their votes in successive rounds until a suitable candidate emerges.

Vatican officials have not provided an estimate of how long the conclave may last, noting that the duration of past conclaves has varied. Some have concluded within days, while others have taken longer.
