Indirect election: candidate votes are parliamentary or electoral-college ballots, not public votes. Public turnout and previous seat counts do not apply. 125 ballots were cast in this round, including 1 blank or invalid ballots. Election date follows Parliament's session record of 16 December, rather than the conflicting 17 December date in a museum biography.
