Tamamo's power in the govermental affairs is likely due to her experience advising several monster lords before Alice XVI. She witnessed the devastation of Black Alice's rule and likely invoked rules to ensure no repeats of said tradegy would repeat themselves.

Alice XVI's fight for the crown was against four others. But it was in a free-for-all. Alma Elma got bored and left and didn't even intend to take the thone as her friend jokingly signed her up. Erubetie and Tamamo knocked each other out. And Granberia was left to 1on1 Alice.

I think Tamamo had entered to ensure Alice would get the throne in a fair way. As it was supposedly the first time in the series history that more than just 1 competitor entered to challenge a Fateburn for the throne. It's likely Tamamo knew of the other three's reasoning (Alma for fun, Granberia for a worthy foe, Erubetie for revenge on humans for destroying slime habitats.) and focused on Erubetie to ensure a vengeful tyrant doesn't take the throne and wage war on humanity.
