The Sunnis wanted Abu Bakr as the first caliph after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. They favored him due to his close companionship with Muhammad and his early conversion to Islam. Sunnis believed in selecting the caliph through consensus and consultation among the community, rather than through hereditary succession.
