I want to know the answer to the following question:
Did all the people want him as Patriarch?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Alban Butler, writes on the subject: "Five months after this great Council, Nicae, St Alexander lying on his death-bed, recommended to his clergy and people the choice of Athanasius for his successor, thrice repeating his name.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
