The senate in ancient Rome did not elect anyone. The Roman people did all the electing in their assemblies.

Octavian Augustus.
In reality, Caesar Augustus was the supreme ruler of the Roman empire and he reported to no one. Yes he conferred with the Roman senate, however that was just a formality.
Roman society was divided into the patricians (the aristocracy), the equites (equestrians) who were bankers, money lenders, merchants and investors in shipping and mining, and the plebeians (the commoners). there were also slaves and freedmen
Until Augustus's reign (the Republic) the Senate ran the Empire, then it was a long line of Emperors.
Oh, dude, the Senate gave Octavian the name Augustus. Yeah, they were like, "Hey, let's call this guy Augustus, sounds pretty fancy, right?" So, Octavian was all like, "Sure, whatever, call me Augustus, I'm still gonna be the boss." And that's how Octavian became Augustus, the first Roman emperor.
