Ostensibly it is Ralph, although his position is challenged later in the story by Jack
Ralph is elected chief in "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. He is chosen to lead the group of boys on the island because of his charisma, rational thinking, and leadership qualities.
Jack is elected chief in "Lord of the Flies" because of his assertive and aggressive personality, which appeals to the boys' desire for strength and power. Jack also takes charge of tasks like hunting, which earns him respect and support from the other boys.
In "Lord of the Flies," after the boys' assembly, only Jack and his choirboys vote for Jack to be chief. This means the majority of the boys, including Ralph, did not vote for Jack to be chief.
he strongly believes i democracy, and listens to the other boys
Ralph is elected the chief of the boys in "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. He represents order, leadership, and civilization throughout the novel.
All the boys except the choir. It doesn't specify exactly how many.
The vote was between Jack and Ralph. When all the boys voted they chose Ralph as their leader. :)
Lord of the Flies documents the progression of "innocent" boys into savagery.
Ralph assumed the role of chief to start out with after he was elected by the other boys. Jack was always power hungry and eventually started his own "tribe" in which he was the chief.
Ralph is made chief in Chapter 1 of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding.
