As much as I approve of the sentiment, this EO is in explicit violation of the election act which prohibits the Delegate from serving as an EC.

This EO is a one-shot augmentation of law for the current situation, and as such it can be considered to have temporarily modified the EC to allow the Delegate as EC for the Local Council. Again, an EO's purpose is to "address an immediate and pressing issue", and it is in this spirit that the Cabinet opted to select the Delegate as EC for this one election, despite the usual restrictions that would have resulted in a possibly not-so-immediate solution if adhered to.
