Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful election candidates, but this makes no strong claim of preexisting notability for other reasons. The closest thing to one, that he's a deputy leader of the party, is clobbered by the fact that the party has 21 deputy leaders according to the sources cited for it — so that doesn't constitute an automatic inclusion freebie just because the fact can technically be referenced to a cursory and unsubstantive list of all 21 of them. And since every candidate in every election everywhere always gets some campaign coverage while the election is underway, the existence of a couple of citations to campaign coverage is not an automatic
WP:GNG clincher in the absence of an actual notability claim. Literally nothing here is sufficient to justify a Wikipedia article.
