I think we have a lot more evidence to show Jaha was voted in (see all the quotes above) than for other speculation that is written as 'canon' on this wikia. (E.g. that Delano tortured Murphy – which was never shown and Murphy never indicated Delano tortured him, yet it's written as 'canon' on this wikia.) As for Kane's words, they specifically talk about "since we landed on the ground". To me, those words confirmed that on the Ark the Chancellor was decided through election.
