Hagrid

I think it was his back ground because his ethnicity and his
religious back ground made him an ideal choice to be leader in a place with
ethnic and religious conflict.  Another
factor in his favor was the no victor no vanquished policy which allowed reconciliation
among the fighters possible.
Unfortunately despite his success in war and economy, his government had
elements of corruption that would lead to his overthrow.
