Liberal councillor Edward Mandla has renewed his ambition to be the next Sydney Lord Mayor in the wake of legislation changing business voting rules in the city.

“I am definitely aiming to be the next Lord Mayor but I will have to prove that I am the best person in the party for the job,” Mr Mandla said.

“What I can say though with certainty is there needs to be change and I have a good idea of the things the next Lord Mayor will need to address.”
