Former Manitoba Liberal Party leader Jon Gerrard plans to put his name on the provincial ballot once again.

Though he stepped down last fall as leader, after 15 years at the party helm, Gerrard said he still wants to represent the people in his River Heights riding.

The 66-year-old MLA is the only sitting Liberal in the provincial legislature.

New leader Rana Bokhari must still find a riding to run in.

Gerrard said he has a good partnership with her.
