LEia had modified the election law with the help of her backers -- no former stormtrooper could hold office, no Imperial of rank, no former Imperial governor -- in short, no Imperial with access to power in the EMpire could serve the New Republic.
Does "Imperial of rank" refer to Imperial Officers, or Imperial officials of importance?

Luke? You mean the guy who turned himself into the enemy during a highly sesitive covert mission because he missed his dad? The guy who resigned his commission shortly after promotion to general because he couldn't take the stress? The guy who argued strenuously about moving into the Imperial Palace because of vague misgivings? The guy let off a kid who exterminated an entire world without even a slap on the wrist? The guy who had a student go rogue and rampage around about once a year? The guy who sat on his hands and moped while the entire galaxy burned around him based on vague philosophical issues? The guy who rigged the election of a Chief of State in wartime to get a guy who liked his Jedi better? The guy who openly stated he'd hand Imperial Center to the enemy on a silver platter if it meant ending the war? The guy who turned his back on his would-be puppet when he started acting in his government's interest rather than the Jedi's?

That guy? Yeah, he'd make a swell leader.
