The historical source explicitly records this original selection separately from the replacement shown in its main presidency table. The candidate was elected, but did not serve the upcoming presidential term. Only the documented vote count is entered; exact polling day, other ballots, turnout and percentages remain unverified. Year precision is intentional; January 1 is only a sorting anchor.
