No majority is present, but each of the ballots assigned to the four last placed candidates would be exhausted if eliminated. Therefore, eliminating any two arbitrary candidates would deliver a majority to Davinescu. Purely for visualization purposes, Xhorxh is eliminated first, since he is not ranked on any other ballot, and Bustany is eliminated second, as he only has a fifth preference on any ballot other than the one already assigned.

Xhorxh and Bustany's ballots are exhausted. Davinescu holds a majority of nonexhausted ballots and is therefore duly elected. (This is one of six equivalent scenarios depending on which two of the four tied candidates are eliminated. This specific scenario has been picked purely for visualization purposes, with the rationale outlined above. The outcome is the same.)
