In 2006, the Mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, confirmed that the elections of 2007 would be his last, reiterating this statement last June. Now, it appears, he will be standing once again at the elections in 2011.
Although not an absolute certainty, José Alberto Armijo has apparently been persuaded to allow his name be put forward as candidate for mayor at the elections in 2011 and is giving the matter serious thought.
The Mayor also earlier announced his decision not to stand for re-election as president of the local Partido Popular, believing that there should be separation between the local party and the local government. This still appears to be his intention. At the moment.
