Actually, in almost all of these cases there were multiple people
considering the positions. In the conversation leading to consensus, some
dropped out to enable a single consensus candidate.

Where no such consensus was possible between the people considering running
and other NARALO members, there was a secret vote.

I still don't think this point needs changing.  Secret votes still happen,
but the region is enabled (and indeed is encouraged) to use consensus where
possible.
