Because:
(1) Act on knowledge (knowing is not enough)
(2)Interpretation matters of Quran and Sunnah
(3) Provide proofs to people their interpretation is correct to be elected (or at least try their best to convince majority through proper proofs)
(4)Held accountable if they go wrong and become corrupt.
Then elections is not the way to go about it.
What you want is a test to check for credentials and qualifications.
Who it is, is literally unimportant. So elections would not serve you well, if this is your goal.
