''I don't want to sound hoity-toity, but I don't really need the post of mayor,'' Nika Melia told a journalist who asked him if he plans to run for mayor.
The UNM head said that he might have different tasks to do and goals to achieve, and he does not need to be a mayoral candidate to do so. In his words, he would accept the offer to run for the municipal office only if he saw real readiness on the part of the opposition to overthrow the regime.
