Town hall campaigners are set to make an ass out of local politicians by putting up a donkey as a candidate for mayor.
Marko is standing for the Society for a New Bulgaria party in Varna, Bulgaria on October 23,
The nag is promising hard work, no kickbacks and a mulish determination when he launches his political career. He has been chosen as the locals don't think the current mayor Kiril Yordanov is doing a good enough job. Campaign director Angel Dyankov said: 'Unlike the other mayoral candidates and politicians, Marko has a strong character, doesn't steal, doesn't lie, and gets the work done.' But incumbent mayor Yordanov, who is running as a nominee of the ruling centre-right party GERB, has refused to share a platform with his rival saying it is 'undignified.'
Mr Dyankov said: 'He is right. Just think how Marko would feel sharing a stage with such a political crook.
He added: 'It would be very undignified for any self respecting donkey.' Other campaigners said Marko's life is difficult as the green areas in the town are disappearing. Local media say the donkey will be focusing on environmental issues.
