There are no direct elections in the undemocratic EU.
In 2019, there was. After Brexit finally concluded, the EU decided having an election would make the people more likely to support remaining in the bloc as they feel part of the decision making.
The winner of said election was Manfred Weber. Ursula Von Der Leyen wasn't even on the list to vote for.
Of course, feminists in the EU couldn't stand that a woman didn't win, and a backroom deal involving Merkel's CDU created the Von Der Leyen ticket that was put to vote by the EU Parliament and narrowly won against empty chairing the seat.

EP supposed elections. How do you not know how parliamentary systems work, even though you are from the UK?
