IN the Islamic world, the governor of an area is elected by the people and hereditary election is not acceptable. But Hazrat Mo’awiya was not interested in such customs and traditions. So he made a will at the time of his death that Yazed would be the next ruler. So Hazrat Mo’awiya nominated him as his heir.
So he became ruler after Hazrat Mo’awiya's death in 60 Hijrah.(History of Islam, Nadvi part 2 page 272)
