> *Issue Summary:*
> We're observing unclean leader election even though {{{}unclean.leader.election.enable=false{}}}.
> *Scenario:*
> During a partition reassignment, if we promote a non-ISR broker to leader and simultaneously remove the current leader from the ISR, Kafka still elects a new leader from outside the ISR. This behavior contradicts the expected behavior when unclean leader election is explicitly disabled.
> *Details:*
>  * *Original ISR:* [1, 2]
>  * *New ISR after reassignment:* [3, 2]
> *Kafka Versions Tested:*
>  * Kafka 4.0.0 (KRaft mode)
>  * Kafka 3.9.0 (Kraft mode)
>  * Kafka 3.9.0 (Zookeeper mode)
> *Observation:*
>  * The behaviour differs between the two modes.
>  * In Kraft, unclean leader election occurred, which should not happen with the config set to {{{}false{}}}.
>  * In Zookeeper no unclean leader election occurred.
> *Attachments:*
> Docker Compose files and reproduction steps for both:
>  * Kafka 4.0.0 (KRaft)
>  * Kafka 3.9.0 (Zookeeper)
