In a vote early in the IHF Congress proceedings the IHF Congress participants voted 103-9 for current Secretary General Peter Muehlemater to resign. With 147 in attendance this means that an additional 35 delegates probably abstained from the vote. Muehlematter is an ally of Kaiser and this vote probably signals a landslide Moustafa re-election.

Editor's note: I will be off line until around 1730 Pacific time. I suggest readers check www.handball-world.com for an update on the election in the interim.
