This sentence has a relative clause and not an appositive. A relative clause will have a subject and verb, begin with a relative pronoun like who, whom, whose, or which and is considered an adjective clause that answers a question. In the sentence, “who” is the subject, “is” is the verb, and the clause answers the question, “which one.”
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that modifies or gives more information about a noun and usually comes after a noun in the sentence.
If this sentence said, “Some of them say that Nelson, a sculptor, made a bad choice this time”, you would have a sentence with an appositive. Notice that there isn’t a subject or a verb in an appositive.
Here are some other examples of appositives:
Miss Smith, my first grade teacher, was very influential.
Lady Gaga, a famous singer, is having a concert in town today.
