My feeling is that if you rendered politicians incapable of lying it would be hard to distinguish from rendering them incapable of speaking.
If to become a politician you had to undergo some kind of process to enhance intelligence or honesty I wouldn’t necessarily object. Becoming a politician is a voluntary choice however and so that’s a very different proposition from forcing some kind of treatment on every member of society.
