## Leader Election Example
This example demonstrates how to use the leader election library.
## Running
Run the following command in multiple separate terminals preferably an odd number.
Each running process uses a unique identifier displayed when it starts to run.
- When a program runs, if a lock object already exists with the specified name,
all candidates will start as followers.
- If a lock object does not exist with the specified name then whichever candidate
creates a lock object first will become the leader and the rest will be followers.
- The user will be prompted about the status of the candidates and transitions.
### Command to run
```python example.py```
Now kill the existing leader. You will see from the terminal outputs that one of the
remaining running processes will be elected as the new leader.
