It is possible for Leopard voters to change this result by strategic voting if they unanimously reject Jaguar. But at least 80% of thatthe Leopard faction would have to participate in that strategic voting for it to succeed; while it would take only 58% of the Jaguar faction to defend against this strategy by rejecting Leopard. Thus, in this election, strategic voting would probably not get off the ground.
