Presidential Election for the 2025-2029 Term

The elections for the ILAE President for the 2025-2029 term have concluded. Dr. Edward H Bertram and Dr. Alla Guekht received the highest number of votes and were also tied in the number of votes received. According to the By-Laws, we will conduct a run-off between Dr. Bertram and Dr. Guekht which will start on 1 April and conclude on 1 May. All 127 Chapters will be invited to participate once again. The third candidate, Dr. Roberto Caraballo, received fewer votes and is therefore not eligible to participate in the next round. The Elections Committee thanks him for his participation, willingness to run and interest in the Presidency. The number of votes received per candidate are:

Candidate Votes Percentage

Roberto Horacio Caraballo 55 27.09%
