This is a neutral comment that isn't in relation to WZO elections themselves. Agudah should not worry about the Lakewood Roshey Yeshiva leaving the moetzes. The Lakewood crowd is never going to become Agudists anyway . The potential constituency Aguda does have is going to be driven away if the more right wing members of the moetzes are the prevailing voices on it. Aguda would probably accomplish more if people like Rav Yisroel Reisman or Rav Yissocher Frand were both on the Moetzes and important members of it. For the crowd Agudah looks to for membership, they are a much better fit as a manhig and moreh derech than some of the current members.
Does the storyline of Orthodox vs Reform for control of EY coincide with reality?
Note the seat allocation from the last WZO election.
Reform had 25% of the seats, with the rest Orthodox, Right-wing Zionist and secular Zionist, even the latter not necessarily promoting the kind of religiously scary agendas that we're supposed to be up in arms about.
They have plenty of other things on their funding agendas other than fighting Orthodoxy.
And even the Reform, if they want to fund programming for their young people, to give the a greater sense of identification with EY, what is so bad about that?

Do the rabbis on either side think that followers of the rabbis on the other side show follow their own Rabbis?

No signatures. Plausible deniability.
Most of the kol korehs lack signatures.
As I said.
