Is the pledge of allegiance to 'Uthman cited as evidence for the permissibility of democratic elections?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: Some people cite the action of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf when he asked about the young men during the caliphate of 'Uthman. Does this serve as evidence for the permissibility of elections?

Answer:
What? He says some people cite the action of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf when he asked, even the young men, in the caliphate. Who said this? Who said he helped even the young men? The pledge of allegiance was completed by the men of the council to whom 'Umar had entrusted the matter, the men of the council to whom 'Umar had entrusted the matter, and they were the remaining members of the ten promised Paradise. They delegated the matter to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, and he was the one who chose 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He did not ask anyone other than his fellow members of the council. O brothers, leave this talk and this nonsense that has no basis. Yes.
