Answer:
Elections by the people of authority and decision, yes, by the people of authority and decision. It is not from the rabble, the common people, buying votes, and chaos; no, that is not from Islam. As for the people of authority and decision, yes, they elect. Good. The scholars, the princes, the leaders, and the notables of the Ummah choose one; this is the system of Islam in elections. As for chaos, rabble-rousing, women, and children, that is the system of the West, the system of the Westerners. Yes.
