Genghis Khan was never elected. He rose to power through alliances and military conquests.
Genghis Khan means 'lord of all' Temujin was the original name of the person 'elected' Genghis Khan; Elected is dubious because while he was acclaimed by his tribesmen, the vast majority of the people living under him had no say in the matter!
he was a grate worrier
He wasn't elected: The clans he didn't talk into accepting him as leader were either forced to accept his rule or destroyed. He lived from 1162 to 1227. He was crowned Khan of the consolidated tribes in 1206
For the same reason most conquerors invade places... More land.
