I cannot check the Tomas source because I do not have that book, but it is a plausible title for a book with this information. I will AGF on the correctness of the hook, which seems reasonable. I oppose the proposed hook - the meaning of "elected" is unclear because the implication here is that there was a fraudulent or manipulated election. The alternate hook is fine. The DYK check tool says that the article has expanded 5x in the past 3 days, and that it is 7700 bytes when 1500 is the required minimum. The nominator did a fine close in their QPQ and resolved an ongoing DYK discussion. The content is neutral, the hook is interesting and 136 characters, and the text seems like an original wiki-adaptation. My spot check finds no copyright violation. The inline citations are appropriate. I say pass! Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:29, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
