Nearly five years after forming a government in British Columbia, John Horgan announced Tuesday that he plans to step down as premier.

Horgan will remain on until a new leader is chosen. He has asked the NDP executive to start the process of a leadership race for the fall.

“I have come to the conclusion I could not give six more years. This has been the thrill of my life to be the Premier of British Columbia,” Horgan said.

This follows weeks of speculation around his health and political future.

Horgan says he came to the decision after walking on the beach with his wife Ellie.

The premier says reaching the mid-point of a second term made it clear there needed to a leader focused on the next two years and beyond.
