Piggy is not considered to be chief because he lacks physical strength and assertiveness that are typically associated with traditional leadership qualities. Additionally, his intellectual and rational approach to situations is often overshadowed by the more charismatic and dominant personalities of other characters like Ralph and Jack.
Piggy was not considered for chief in "Lord of the Flies" because he lacked the physical abilities and charisma valued by the boys on the island. Despite his intelligence and rational thinking, Piggy's physical weakness, poor eyesight, and lack of assertiveness made him less appealing as a leader to the other boys.
Piggy is not considered as a chief primarily because he lacks the physical attributes and assertiveness that the other boys value, such as strength and charisma. His intellectual approach and reliance on logic are often dismissed in favor of more aggressive, primal leadership styles. Additionally, his social status as an outsider, coupled with the boys’ growing descent into savagery, further marginalizes him and undermines his potential authority.
Piggy voted for Ralph to be chief in the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding.
In Chapter 5, Ralph says that Piggy can think things through, and how he has all his ideas lined up in his head. Hear is an excerpt:Once more that evening Ralph had to adjust his values. Piggy could think. He could go step by step inside that fat head of his, only Piggy was no chief. But Piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains.This shows that Piggy would be heard more if people could see past his weight.

Piggy is fully aware that Ralph is the only thing that is preventing Jack from becoming chief. Piggy knows that if Jack does become chief all hope of rescue will disappear because Jack will only bother about hunting and the signal fire wil be forgotten. Piggy is also fearful for his own safety.
He voted for Ralph "grudgingly".
That Ralph is still chief.

Piggy's continual references to things that is auntie said and told him not to do showed that Piggy was a follower rather than a leader. This is probably why Piggy never made any attempt to become chief and was happy to support Ralph when he was elected to that position. Piggy is a conformist.
If you are referring to the book Lord of the Flies, then he became chief on page 181. Right after Piggy was killed.
He succeeded in taking Piggy's glasses to start a fire.
