Sayakas running mate and childhood friend Miyamae Nonoa will also back her in the Student Congress.
Nonoa is well-loved and well-connected, but Masachika wants Alya focused on Sayaka.
And hey, it works!

As does telling Alya to do what she thinks is cool, not strive for perfection.
Masachika integrates deprecating humor perfectly, and has Sayaka literally fleeing the stage in a snit.
Nonoa withdraws the proposal and the congress ends with Masachika and Alya the victors.

But Alya has already left the stage to chase down Sayaka, who is a blubbering wreck.
Nonoa calls Alya a good gal, and Sayaka says of course she is: Masachika chose her.
Ayano remarks that the classic role of such bosses is toloseto the Hero.

Instead, Masachika says he ran with Yuki primarily out of guilt, not ambition.
But its just as clear if anyone can make her president, its Masachika.
