"If I had to guess based on your story thus far, they went with the man who showed himself to be a capable leader during hard times...you." Opposition Twilight deduces. And she has no reason to doubt John. Even if he was lying, chances are it was something along the lines of her version of Applejack; playing his opponents up to seem more humble.

it made sense, of course. Ponies were herd animals. John lead them during the war. Naturally they were going to flock to the same leader despite said leader having little experience in politics and despite there likely being ponies better suited for the job.

Which of course leads to the question of why he was digging up dead bodies, but Opposition Twilight isn't planning on bringing that up yet. She's had experience advising leaders, after all. Maybe inbetween now and going home she could actually teach this poor sap how to lead his country.
