I would imagine that becoming mayor in certain parts of the country is much easier if you’re a member of the dominant party in the region.

Or existing in society at all. Sometimes in those parts of the country the first question upon meeting someone is "what church do you go to".

He didn't have to become mayor.

No, he didn’t. But people get to want things. Sometimes they want things for themselves, sometimes they want things for their communities.
