While the candidate may look like a bit of a jackass, he is hugely popular with voters - who have been campaigning to get him elected in the city of Guayaquil.

Up to 40 campaigners paraded through the streets of Ecuador's biggest city this week to the electoral council offices ahead of the vote.

The four-legged mammal, who has been given the inventive nickname 'Mr Donkey', was dressed in a smart tie as he led his drum-banging supporters through the city.

Despite voters superimposing the animal's head on a man in a mock registration card, the donkey was refused entry to the building.

Speaking to a local TV station, donkey backer Daniel Molina said the group's goal was to highlight voters' attention to the seriousness of the election and not to insult any party.

Earlier this year, a clever cat called Tuxedo Sam launched a campaign to run as mayor in the Canadian town of Halifax.

He followed in the paw steps of Stubbs the cat, who celebrated his 15th year as the honorary mayor of Alaska town Talkeetna earlier this year.
