The problem of finding algebraically special solutions of the vacuum Einstein-Maxwell equations is investigated using the spin coefficient formalism of Newman and Penrose. The general case, in which the degenerate null vectors are not hypersurface orthogonal, is reduced to a problem of solving five coupled differential equations that are no longer dependent on the affine parameter along the degenerate null directions. It is shown that the most general regular, shearfree, nonradiating solution of these equations is the Kerr-Newman metric.
