Quebec City’s longtime mayor says he’s quitting politics and won’t seek re-election in November.

Regis Labeaume made the announcement today at a news conference in the provincial capital.

Labeaume, 65, was first elected in December 2007 following the death of former mayor Andrée Boucher.

He would go on to win re-election in 2009, 2013 and 2017.
