Rich Coleman has ended the speculation and announced he will seek re-election next May in Fort Langley-Aldergrove.
The Energy and Mines minister says his is strongly committed to Premier Christy Clark and the rest of the BC Liberal team as they seek a new mandate in 2013.
Coleman was first elected in 1996.
Some thought he might not run again in the wake of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon and Education Minister George Abbott announcing last week they were quitting politics.
