Former Halifax mayor Peter Kelly says he is “surprised and flattered” by an anonymous campaign encouraging him to run for mayor in 2016, but says he has no idea who is behind it.

The website Draft Kelly, along with a Facebook and Twitter account, was launched on Monday by an unnamed group voicing its support for Kelly. CBC has not been able to contact the site’s administrator.

Kelly says he was humbled by the encouragement. However, he says he won’t be thinking about elections anytime soon.

His contract as chief administrator of a small county outside of Edmonton was extended for another year this past week. He is committed to finishing his term, which ends February 29, 2016.
