I’m not sure that he’s actually hoping to win. I think he may be using this as a platform to force the authorities to let him speak. He’s campaigning to get politicians to agree to a national enquiry into the mass transgendering of up to 20% of the foster children in his area, many of whom are autistic and almost all of whom are under the care of one single doctor, Wallace Wong. Smith was a foster child himself, and states that the trauma that he went through played a big part in him developing OCD and a transgender identity, and he doesn’t want this to be pushed on other vulnerable children. He’s been prevented from speaking on this issue by the TRAs, who hate him with the fire of a thousand suns, so this seems like quite a clever way of making sure that his points are heard.
