If I remember correctly he was playing in a comedy as a guy who gets kinda accidentally elected, and based on the show he was kinda accidentally elected - half as a protest, half as a joke.

He ran for the office. What was accidental about it? Was it a joke campaign?

I don't know/remember many details of what I've read, but I think the campaign built a lot on the comedy show (there are a few short videos on YouTube with subtitles)
