I think AES' theory would probably be more likely that Konahrik being The last Dragonborn, purely because of the following


 * TLD was about to be executed, and no-one knew when Alduin would show up (and accidentally save him). If it were all planned, it wouldn't have had so big a chance at failing


 * From a logical view it makes more sense to elect a "Warlord" to be in control of the Dragon Cults main forces if there was an invasion (possibly from Akavir, as the dragons may have originally fled from there).


 * My final and most mportant point, it's the opinion I like most, so I'm obviously going to favour it over other theories.
