With just six weeks left before Edmonton's municipal election, a fourth mayoral candidate threw his hat in the ring Monday while another announced the issues he'll be campaigning on.

Daniel Dromarsky, 32, announced his candidacy even though he didn't get the 75,000 friends on his Facebook page, Dan for Mayor, that he said he wanted if he were to run.

As of 3 p.m. MT Monday, he had 96 friends.

"I am interested in running for mayor, but I also want to test the power of social media," Dromarsky wrote on his Facebook page.

"People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on elections, but I do want to show the world that you don't need to spend millions to live a lifelong goal. Instead, connect with people of all ages."

Dromarsky joins current Mayor Stephen Mandel, Canadian Forces lieutenant and real estate investor Daryl Bonar and businessman Don Koziak in the race.

Bonar, who announced his candidacy in May, used a north Edmonton boxing club to outline his campaign promises on Monday and declare war on his opponents in the race for city hall.

During his campaign, Bonar plans to open dialogue with small businesses, reveal his crime reduction program, and discuss ways to reduce tuition for students.

Bonar does not have previous political experience but said he is what is needed on city council.

"If being a city councillor is a prerequisite, we might as well pull out the throne, the sceptre and crown Mr. Mandel right now because there [are] no [other] city councillors running for mayor right now," Bonar said.

"I believe I am the alternative to the mayor right now. I bring a proven track record of leadership and involvement in my community."

Edmontonians go to the polls Oct. 18.
