The executive body in Switzerland has members from 5 different parties, but it's elected by the federal assembly, not directly:

Its not really an "election" since they have to stick to the Zauberformel and reproduce the results of the parliament.

The only elective part is which "faction" of the party the person will be coming from, i.e "Zürich"/"Bern for UDC/SVP.
