Ipc general assembly

IPC President Andrew Parsons: Andrew Parsons was re-elected President of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) for a third and final four-year term at the 2025 IPC General Assembly in Seoul, South Korea, on Saturday. The Brazilian received 109 of the 177 valid votes to be chosen over fellow presidential candidate Dong Hyun Bae of South Korea, who received 68 votes.

“I’m really happy, I think it shows the confidence and the trust of the IPC membership with the direction of where we are going with the Paralympic Movement,” said IPC President Andrew Parsons. “From a personal point of view, being able to finish things that I started in 2017 when I was first elected, but also the opportunity to initiate new projects, open new doors and new fronts in my last four years, will be incredible. I’m grateful to the Paralympic family for this wonderful opportunity.

Parsons, the former President of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee and the Americas Paralympic Committee, was first elected to the IPC Governing Board in 2009. Before becoming the IPC’s third President in 2017, he served as Vice-President between 2013 and 2017.
