Mary Robinette Kowal has announced she is withdrawing from the SFWA VP race. After telling why she took a look ahead:
So what’s next? According to the bylaws, the president is able to appoint a replacement for me and I’m happy to announce that long time member, Alan Smithee will take my place.

@David – That is priceless.
