Why the ABR which is the elected translator showing the route

When I have 2 ABR's for an NSSA. The elected Type 7 to Type 5 LSA
translator shows the route in the routing table as N2 while the other
ABR shows it as E2 route.

I can understand why the non-elected ABR shows the route as E2
(because it receives both type 7 LSA and type 5 LSA and type 5 LSA
will be preferred).

What I can't understand is why the elected router shows the route as
N2 though it is the one which originated the type 5 LSA and already
has the type 7 LSA in its database.

Can someone shed some light on why such behavior?
