Gregor Robertson will step down from his seat as a provincial MLA to run for mayor of Vancouver, the candidate with the centre-left Vision Vancouver party said Thursday.

Robertson will resign as of July 15.

"I have decided that all of my energy must be focused on reaching out to all of the citizens of Vancouver," Robertson said in a short news release.

The founder of the juice company Happy Planet was picked as his party's leader in a nomination vote Sunday. He had been mulling over holding on to his MLA seat in the lead-up to November's election, noting there would likely be no fall sitting of the legislature.

Civic elections are November 15. In Vancouver, Robertson's main opponent will be Coun. Peter Ladner with the centre-right Non-Partisan Association.
