appointed by a by-election vs appointed through a by-election

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Appointed by a by-election' is more commonly used and refers to someone being chosen or elected to a position through a by-election. On the other hand, 'appointed through a by-election' could also be correct but is less common and might imply a more indirect process of appointment.
