Jim Anderton would consider quitting Parliament if he wins the Christchurch mayoralty because the southern city needs a fulltime mayor in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Mr Anderton, Progressive Party leader and its sole MP, will stand for the Christchurch mayoralty in the October 9 election.
He has previously indicated he would stay on as MP for Wigram even if elected as mayor.
Today, he told Newstalk ZB he would consider leaving Parliament to be in Christchurch full time if he won.
Mr Anderton said he was too busy helping people following the quake and would make the decision later.
