Perhaps you should consider the difficulties any recently elevated leader faces with the entrenched bureaucracy they inherit. We have a similar situation right here in our own general government and its "deep state".  Every Senator and Congress member inherits a congressional staff that are civil servants hired by the federal government. These elected leaders may have the ability to select certain staff members, but by and large the people responsible for the day to day operations of the office remain the same irrespective of who is in the office. This is in large part what makes change in Washington, or any bureaucracy, a difficult endeavor.
