A fact from Complimentary election appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 September 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

... that after the Swiss Federal Councilor Josef Martin Knüsel lost a complimentary election to the National Council in 1875, he resigned? Source: diese damals üblichen Komplimentswahlen sollten bestätigen, dass die Bundesräte das Vertrauen des Volkes genossen. Als die Liberalen den bei ihnen in Ungnade gefallenen Knüsel jedoch auf die Liste eines konservativ dominierten Wahlkreises abschoben, blieb er bei den Nationalratswahlen 1875 chancenlos. Nach dieser gescheiterten Komplimentswahl trat er am 10. Dezember 1875 aus der Landesregierung zurück. https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/de/articles/004184/2022-05-05/
The second article was created today and is new enough. On the wording of the hook I am open for suggestions. Federal Councilors are like Ministers (can also be Presidents) in other countries while the National Council is the lower chamber of the parliament.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:40, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work on both articles @Paradise Chronicle:. This nomination is good to go, unless you would like to suggest an alternate wording, though the current phrasing sounds fine to me. Epicgenius (talk) 14:50, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
