A candidate for mayor in Saskatoon’s municipal election on Wednesday is getting a last-minute endorsement with a comedic twist.
Charlie Clark tweeted a decidedly amateur video of Zach Galifianakis urging voters to mark their ballots for the 10-year city councillor.

Some polls suggest Clark is in a tight three-way race with incumbent mayor Don Atchison and businesswoman Kelley Moore.
Galifianakis starred in “The Hangover” movie trilogy and appears in the popular Internet series “Between Two Ferns.”
Speaking from the side of a road in California, he said Clark is a “splendid man” who would make a “great leader and a fabulous mayor for Saskatoon.”
Clark’s Facebook page says Galifianakis is married to one of his cousins.
Galifianakis admits in what appears to be a self-shot video that it’s strange for him to get involved in the municipal vote.
“Why should you trust me?” he asks. “That’s a good question. I don’t know.”

He ended the video by joking another reason to vote for Clark is “because he’s gonna give me a lot of money if you do.”
Polls close at 8 p.m. local time.
