Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no other claim that he has any preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy (serving on a regional council falls under NPOL #2, where the notability test is "has significant press coverage" and not "is verifiable as existing"), and is referenced solely to his own party's self-published list of its own candidates rather than any evidence that he has received enough reliable source coverage to clear the bar for local politicians.
