“the Chief Rabbi is not for the Charedim”
The charedi leaders didn’t think so the last chief rabbi election.
” the guy ran for chief rabbi on a platform that he would be mattir mamzeirim”
No, he ran on a platform to matir one mamzer situation. And any rabbi who doesn’t attempt to do that in every mamzer situation he encounters is no rabbi.
Interestingly, the method he used — pasuling a conversion — caused vehement objections from the same charedim who are pasuling conversions *en masse* today.
