Your personal preferences aside.
Wuk Lamat was likable.

Ask for competency or lack thereof in what regard?

Her brothers would have made terrible individual leaders. I'm not certain if you were paying attention but Zarool Ja wanted to turn Turral into a conquering Warmachine. In Koanas aspirations for technological innovations of other cultures, he disregards the people he would rule all with myriad of strong cultural traditions.

One such culture Bakool Jaja was conspiring for a Mamool Ja Ethno state for instance or the despot factions of Yok Huy. How can you hope to hold together such factions in which to share innovations if you don't understand them? Civil War.

Wuk Lamat isn't as strong as Zarool Ja. She isn't as intelligent as Koana.

She throws her hat into the ring as Dawnservant for the peace the Legacy Gulool Jaja represents.
She has the emotional intuition to understand things could go very wrong.
She knows her own weaknesses quite well, which is why she elects for a Diarchy with her brother Koana.

Leaders are leaders not for being the most capable in the room. Leaders are in their position because of their intuition, strength, and charisma. Qualities that Wuk Lamat had all along but didn't realize it.
