Alberta NDP Leader Brian Mason says he is stepping down as head of the party effective October 19th.
Mason, who is 60, says it’s time for someone else to rejuvenate the party during a changing political landscape.
Mason, a former transit bus driver, took over leadership of the provincial New Democrats in 2004.
He served on Edmonton city council for 11 years before making the jump to provincial politics in 2000 when he won a by-election.
He was re-elected in a general election the following year and has held his seat ever since.
He is currently member of the legislature for Edmonton Highlands-Norwood.
