Without speaking directly to the Lakewood situation but in general, wherever yidden as a block mindlessly vote for a candidate for public office simply because some rabbonim or askanim said to do so, there will be no political competition. Sure, take what “the Rav” may say into consideration as one factor among many but do your OWN analysis of the candidates and their positions and make your own decision whom to vote for.
As has been pointed out to you before, doing things because your rabbeim said to do so is not mindless, it is called following Daas Torah. Your habit of selecting when and where your rabbonim should to be heeded is inappropriate
