VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier John Horgan says he’ll resign as leader in the fall after the New Democrats hold a leadership convention.

He says his health is good, but his energy flags as the days go by.

Horgan announced last November that he was diagnosed with throat cancer.

He was also diagnosed with bladder cancer in his 40s.
