I think the Rabbanim are basing their decisions on what they saw and heard in the past 5 years in RBS/BS so we can’t say that they aren’t basing their decisions on anything and I know that they along with more than half of the city council including Likud were very unimpressed by the mayor. Anyway on a side note in Yerushalayim 5 years ago by the way Degel Hatorah and the Gedolim went with Moshe Lion (who is religious ) for mayor instead of Yossi Deutch the Chareidi candidate, so that means the Gedolim don’t always automatically instruct their Tzibbur to automatically vote for the chareidi person so therefore I believe the Gedolim know what they are recommending.
