Disgraced Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who recently admitted to smoking crack cocaine, has put his name on the ballot to run for another term.
Ford was the first candidate to show up at City Hall when registration opened for the city's municipal election 2 October.
According to news24, Ford has faced intense pressure to resign over his drug use and revelations of other erratic behavior.
The Toronto City Council has stripped Ford of most of his powers, but he continues to receive support from some in the city's more conservative suburbs, the report added.
