I agree.

Let me think..... the population votes, not the leader. So the result 
of the vote is predictable (i.e. every turn you know who would win if 
elections are taken).

Then the problem could be not to win the elections, but to allow the 
people to vote.

Let's make an example:
you notice you would win the elections, so you call for vote.
the elections are not instant, they happen after, let's say, 3-4 turns.
you have to mantain your popularity. Or you and other people could 
prevent some cities from voting - we could imagine that a city which is 
being bombed, has a smaller number of voters.
other people could take over the UN.

too much complex?
