International Modern Pentathlon Union (UIPM) President Klaus Schormann is set to be re-elected unopposed, having been confirmed as the only candidate for the top job in advance of November's Congress.

The German official has led the UIPM since 1993, and is now set for an eighth term as President.

At the end of another four-year term, Schormann will have been UIPM President for 32 years.

American John Helmick is also set for unopposed re-election as treasurer, but there are nine candidates for the UIPM's five vice-presidential roles.

All five of the current vice-presidents - including Spaniard and ex-International Olympic Committee vice-president Juan Antonio Samaranch, who is the UIPM's first vice-president, are seeking re-election.

France's Joël Bouzou - an Olympic medallist and former world champion - Russian Viacheslav Aminov, Kazakhstani official Berik Imashev and Mexican Juan Manzo Orañegui are all vying to be re-elected.

Sharif El Erian from Egypt, Turkey's Veil Ozan Cakir, Andrey Kuzmanov from Bulgaria and Bakhromjon Gaziev of Uzbekistan are also standing for election as a vice-president.

All nine candidates are men.

Seven candidates have been put forward for Executive Board positions by their respective National Federations, and again all are men.
