To enact the platform we agreed serves our will when we elected them. Electing them is hiring them.

That doesn't really change the nature of their job. They're not the ones carrying out whatever change they were elected or hired to enact. They were elected to coordinate and oversee the process, to direct the efforts, to make decisions about dealing with whatever challenges crop up.

They were elected to lead the enactment of that platform.
