Without restarting it completely, the election process conducted by 
PeeringDB can't really be altered while it is underway.

That said, if neither you nor Arnold will withdraw from this election, one 
or both of you could make a public commitment that if both elected, one of 
you will not accept the election and thus defer to the next ranked choice 
candidate.

Are you Yolandi willing to make that commitment?

Is Arnold?
