A possible starting point is an existing political party fielding an AI candidate for an existing seat.

Most parties are struggling to find candidates, many are standing down in this election cycle, of course most of that is from one party that has really long odds of remaining in power.

As the leader, its generated text would result in actions that follow. So humans following the instructions of a non-sentient python script which is incapable of fear or regret or love.
