Man who doesn't want to be mayor accidentally elected
5/11/2012An accidental mayoral candidate whose own family didn't vote for him has won the election. Fabio Borsatti ran for mayor of Cimolais, Italy (pop: 507), as a last-minute favor to his friend, fellow candidate Gino Bertolo, fearing voters would shun the polls if Bertolo stood unopposed. Despite his lack of interest, the stunned 50-year-old won with 58% of the vote. "I find myself a mayor who didn't want to be a mayor," he said. "I wanted Gino to win." Bertolo says he "wasn't upset" about his friend's victory, which sounds like just the unflappable attitude you'd want in a mayor.
