Another candidate has announced they will run for lord mayor, while the incumbent Robert Doyle is set to announce the team he will take to October's Melbourne Town Hall elections.

Nic Frances Gilley is the former executive director of the Brotherhood of St Laurence. He will run for lord mayor with Indigenous woman Brooke Wandin as his deputy.

While the pair have little chance of winning, they will help feed votes to their No.1 council candidate, Labor's Richard Foster, who is currently a councillor.

It comes as Cr Doyle – running for a third term at Town Hall – said he would announce his team for the election on Thursday.
