ALFRED U. ALOHIKEA CHOSEN

Because of the selection by the voters of the island of Niihau, 42 votes for Alohikea, therefore he was selected and Leslie Nakashima lost.

Before the number of Niihau votes were received, Nakashima lead by 20 votes over Alohikea, but when Alohikea received the 42 votes at Niihau, and no votes for Nakashima on Niihau, therefore Alohikea had 22 more votes than Nakashima. Knowing how to sing attracts ballots. Candidates need to learn to sing. The candidates let other do their singing; not so for that youth, Alohikea.
