A mayoral candidate has joined TikTok in order to communicate with younger voters.
Keith Tordoff, an independent candidate to be Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, has signed up to the Chinese social media company TikTok and has already posted about his background as a police officer and his ambitions for the region. Mr Tordoff, 67, is standing in the mayoral election of the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority on May 2.
“I am independent with a proven track record in business and for communities. “If elected mayor I will involve and deliver for the people on TikTok who have lost trust in the electoral system.” Mr Tordoff, who runs the sweet shop in Pateley Bridge called The Oldest Sweet Shop In The World, also worked as a detective on the Yorkshire Ripper murders. On May 2, he will go up against another independent candidate, Paul Haslam, as well as candidates from national parties.
