THIS candidate for mayor is a real ASS.

Activists in Bulgaria are putting forward a donkey to run for office, in protest against the incumbent, Kiril Yordanov, who they claim is ineffective.

Campaigners are hoping voters elect the donkey rather than give the current mayor another term.

The mule, called Marko, is standing for the Society for a New Bulgaria party in Varna on October 23.

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."

However, Yordanov has refused to share a platform with Marko, claiming it is "undignified".

Mr Dyankov retorted: "He is right. Just think how Marko would feel sharing a stage with such a political crook.

"It would be very undignified for any self-respecting donkey."
