Tolga Özbahar took 76% of 2,870 votes and never came close to losing the lead, but the crowd behind him tells the real story: 93% male, and just 19 of his 2,191 voters — under 1% — were fans of the pages involved. Türkiye alone supplied 1,543 votes, more than half the poll.

Andreas Nilsson finished a distant second at 14%, yet his backers looked nothing like the winner's: gender split almost evenly (182 men, 202 women) and over a third — 36% — were fans, concentrated in Hungary. Mikhail Chipurin's North Macedonian base skewed male again (88%), closer to the winner's shape than the runner-up's.

  • Fan loyalty gap · Nilsson's crowd was 36% fans; the winner's was under 1%.
  • Gender split · Winner's voters were 93% male; runner-up split nearly 50/50.
  • One country, half the poll · Türkiye alone cast 1,543 of 2,870 votes.
