As one of the Companions, he was on the Leadership Track after the death of Abu Bakr. His only real competition was Ali, based on the arguable bloodline connection to the Prophet (Ali's parisans became the Shiites; Umar's were the Sunnis). This is not to say the matters were handled cordially. Abu Bakr managed to die of natural causes, but beginning with Umar, the tradition of murdering caliphs was established.

He was not elected. he himself claimed to have a letter from Abubakr willing that Umar should be Caliph after his death. some scholars say this letter is made by Umar himself and Umar used stamp of Abubakr after death of Abubakr. Imam Ali a.s. never has any interest in power and said: the value of power that you are seeking it for me is less than the water of nose of a goat unless if I can take the right of a wronged using it or if I can establish justice using it.
