Not when those two candidates both serve the same interests. What looks like two tracks may just be two sides of the same track.
Could you or anyone convert the scenario then into a trolley problem that does fit in your view?
No. The trolley problem is an oversimplification that can never accurately reflect reality.
Yes. There are ninety nine people on one side of the fork in the tracks, and one hundred on the other. The track loops around after the people to the other side of the fork, so no matter which way the lever is set, one hundred ninety nine people will be crushed. Or you can pull them off the tracks and destroy the trolley.
