This was an indirect parliamentary presidential selection, not a public national ballot. Only the decisive ballot is displayed; earlier rounds are not added to its votes. The vote-share denominator includes blank and invalid ballots, so named-candidate shares need not sum to 100%. Public turnout and popular-vote totals are not applicable. Party affiliations describe the election era, while independent/write-in candidates have no inferred ideology.
