It really wouldn't make any sense. Building off what Needle said, if Orochimaru's father died when he was young, and was the Mizukage, then how long did Kiri wait to elect a new one. Yagura's an adult, but he certainly isn't as old as Orochimaru, which would make for one hell of a gap between the third and the fourth. By that point in time both the first and the second would have been dead as well, so they couldn't have taken office again either.
