“This starts now, vote for me. Otaola 2024,” Alex Otaola said as he left the Miami mayor's office where he registered his candidacy. Mr. Otaola presented his candidacy in the company of his legal team, and signed the papers making official his intention to become mayor of the city.

"The day has come," said Otaola, as he arrived at the mayor's office. Mr. Otaola has said that his goal is to get the communists out of the city. Otaola, who has great success with his digital program "Hola! Ota-Ola," is entering politics for a non-partisan position, although the communicator has taken traditionally conservative positions, which are identified with the political position of the Republican Party and former President Donald Trump.
