After lying and teling the assembled boys that Ralph has called the hunters cowards and that Ralph is a coward himself Jack then says, "He's not a hunter. He'd never have got us meat. He isn't a prefect and we don't know anything about him. He just gives orders and expects people to obey for nothing."
Ralph decides that someone with more experience should either guide or control them; thus leading to the idea that Piggy could. Piggy was no chief even though he was older than the others. Ralph's own ability is weakening everyday. He concludes that if he were to blow the conch, and none of the boys were to show up, all sanity will be gone and they will be savages.
Maybe he is lazy to hunt
There is always an underlying conflict between Ralph and Jack, primarily on Jack's part. Jack has always been use to being in command of his choir and resents the fact that a group of children for whom he holds no regard or respect elected Ralph into a position of power which he coveted. Later as Ralph, aided only by Simon, attempts to build a third shelter for the use of all the boys he shows his own resentment towards Jack when he says... "They work for five minutes and then wander off or go hunting." Implying that while Jack his having fun hunting he is stuck doing routine and thankless but necessary tasks. The division becomes even wider after the signal fire is allowed to go out and Ralph begins to accept that Jack not only wants his position as chief but that Jack actually hates him too.
Jack attacked Piggy rather than Ralph because he knew Piggy wouldn't fight back. If he had attacked Ralph there was a good chance that Ralph would have beaten him and Jack couldn't take the risk of losing face in front of his own hunters.
Because Jack is all about hunting and having fun and Ralph is about democracy and getting saved. Jack's group is living in the moment.

During the meeting in "Lord of the Flies," Jack argues that Ralph should not be the chief because he believes he would make a better leader. Jack also asserts that Ralph is not a good hunter, and he suggests that the boys should prioritize hunting and having fun over maintaining the signal fire. This meeting marks the beginning of the power struggle between Jack and Ralph.
In the beginning of the book, the leader of the boys is Ralph. This is decided by a vote made by all the boys. Ralph was a good leader but he had issues with how to tell people what to do. But the boys begin to up rise and defy Ralph. They start leaning toward Jack as a leader. Jack lets everyone do what they want when they want but this turns everyone against Ralph. In the end, the boys all join Jack's side and try to kill Ralph.
Ralph's suggestion that Jack isn't a good leader and should step down angers Jack. Jack responds by leading a mutiny against Ralph and creating his own tribe, leading to a power struggle on the island.
Maybe he is lazy to hunt
Ralph likes Jack. He also notices that Jack knows what his doing and decides that Jack wouldn't be too good as an enemy. As a way to satisfy Jack's urge to control, Ralph offers the choir to Jack.
[And you shut up! Who are you, anyway? Sitting there telling people what to do. You can't hunt, you can't sing--" "I'm chief. I was chosen." "Why should choosing make any difference? Just giving orders that don't make any sense--"]

In the Lord of the Flies Jack thinks that he should be the leader of the group of boys since he was already the leader of the choir so he holds a grudge over Ralph when he is chosen to be the leader instead. Ralph is angered by Jack's antics and soon the two boys clash on their views for the group.

Ralph is the chief because he got voted to be chief by everybody else in chapter 1Ralph was also elected because he was holding the conch, and the conch is a symbol of authority. Jack would have been a bad choice for chief because Jack is mean and uses force instead of reasoning. Ralph is a very caring person and Ralph knows what they need to do in order to stay alive and possibly get rescued. Verses Jack, Jack just cares about having fun and hunting, not doing whats needed to actually stay alive.Read more: In_lord_of_the_flies_why_is_Ralph_the_chief
