I don't think that there is any chance[0] that the autorities will go after the churches for things like these. But even if everyone tollerates the authorities turning a blind eye to the issue many would not tollerate the autorities making it an official policy or slipping up and saying stuff like "a church could run for office for all I care". The state is protecting churches in ways it should not; you likely cannot defeat this protection, but you can put pressure on the state so that it will be harder/riskier to keep doing it.[1] [0] at a trend level, or at least for the well connected churches with armies of lawyers. [1] I must warn that this is close to declaring a war (on a very small scale) and as such you could come out in a worse position than when you started.
