Darn vote fellow included for chosen ones (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

select few

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chosen ones' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'darn vote fellow included' is the wordplay.
'darn' becomes 'sew' (I've seen this in another clue).
'vote' becomes 'elect'.
'fellow' becomes 'F' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'included' is an insertion indicator.
'elect'+'f'='electf'
'sew' enclosing 'electf' is 'SELECT FEW'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for select few that I've seen is " The chosen ones".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
