Degentraland commented on Twitter about the major turmoil at the end of the election and the shock of his defeat

The ApeCoin DAO's first election round was everything but dull. An important change occurred in the previous few seconds.

The ApeCoin community selected BoredApeG, Veratheape, and Gerry to join Yat Siu and Alexis Ohanian on the Special Council in January 2023 after an eight-week election process.

As more $Ape holders turned out to cast their votes and some others modified their votes in the final few minutes, the ApeCoin DAO election came down to the wire. The outcome of the election was significantly influenced by all of these factors.

Degentraland, a Metaverse Strategist at Horzien Labs and a member of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, was ahead of the other five candidates for the Special Council with 5.7 million $Ape votes, the Bored Ape Gazette reported before 8:45 p.m. EST.

Throughout the past week, the Gazette's updates and live coverage of the Special Council election have consistently placed Dengentraland in the lead.

However, a lot of people in the cryptocurrency industry are aware that anything can happen.

Degentraland dropped from first position with 5.7 million $Ape votes to fourth place with 4.4 million $Ape votes at 8:49 p.m. EST.

Degentraland commented on Twitter about the major turmoil at the end of the election and the shock of his defeat when the results and his surprising defeat were disclosed.

In cryptography, he claimed, there is never a dull moment. Please congratulate the @apecoin council winners. You're all going to succeed admirably. I'm always available if you need me.

The unanticipated changes to the election are mostly down to DaoKwonDo AKA Books' Web3 Exposed Twitter Space with Degentraland and the other candidates earlier today in the $Ape community.

Nobody is against you, Books said to Degentralnd in the Space at 1:48. Where were you, though? We don't even know who voted for the individual who received the most votes, which is okay. I am aware that this is a crypto. But everyone believes it's Horizen. This is marked with the fingerprints of Horizen. Dude, this is for the neighborhood. You haven't done anything for the neighborhood. I've heard you speak before. In addition to Alex's places, it might have been on an ApeCoin or Bored Ape space. Someone informed me that you had spoken on Farokh's area, and you verified it. I've been around for a while, but aside from that, I don't know you. And many of the participants on this stage don't know you either.

Many BAYC members discussed Degentraland's performance on Twitter during the Space.

Man, listening to Degentraland try to convince us to support him. Notable BAYC member Kobrakao said, "Can't even come up with a single coherent rationale." "A lot of nothing, a lot of fluff. Do we really want this man assisting with community management? Admits that he is too busy. ROUGH PASS. EVERYONE else besides him

The three Special Council Elect Members have been contacted by The Bored Ape Gazette, and we will offer you in-depth interviews with them as soon as we can.
