Best Answer

He was at an earlier stage already elected as president of his party (ANC) and then campaigned against the National Party in the first democratic elections for all races. That is when the ANC got the majority of all seats and he therefor became president. So it was the people (black, white, indian and coloured) of South Africa who elected him.
