As of right now these are the fast paced and ever changing stats:
Amandil: 3 votes
Elrond: 2 votes
Erendis: 2 votes
and 1 vote each for Celebrimbor, Fangorn, and Orophir.
Amandil leads? No, no. In defense of Amandil, he was the leader of the secret faction that opposed Ar-Pharazôn in its earliest stages. This was a great risk!

Also, it has been said that voting Amandil off gives him what he wants. But consider that it was a great risk to journey to Valinor, and indeed we don't even know what happened to him. He headed for Valinor to try and save mankind, not because he thought he'd be drinking martinis with Manwë, after all! And the thanks he got? He could be dead at the bottom of the ocean for all anyone knows. So saying that
he would desire to leave the game is fairly ungrounded, he only left Númenór because he was desperate to save Númenór and was willing to die trying.

This game is not about saving men, ergo no reason for him to leave.
I don't want to see Elrond go, first of all he has a really cool name, and second of all he was one of the last great Elves to remain in Middle-earth, so I don't see him as much of a quitter. The tra la la's are pretty damning, I must admit, but for now at least I would rather see more of a sideline character go, such as:
