A furry feline is the front-runner to become Mexico’s newest mayor.
Known as “Candigato Morris,” the cat is running ahead of the competition in the social media race for mayor in Xalapa, capital of the state of Veracruz.
As first reported by the website HyperVocal, two residents frustrated with their city’s mayoral candidates decided to take matters into their own hands and create a candidate of their own.
Setting up a Facebook account for the faux candidate just a few months ahead of the July 7 election, the “Candigato” is already much more popular than his human competition.
Whether the city of Xalapa is full of cat lovers or not, the “Candigato” has already received more than 82,000 likes on Facebook.
