Barnaby Joyce is stepping down from the Nationals leadership and his role as Deputy Prime Minister.
Mr Joyce has told a press conference in Armidale that he will resign on Monday at the Party room meeting in Canberra, opening up the leadership to the party.
It comes as his party investigates an allegation of sexual harassment, which Mr Joyce has flatly denied and has referred to police.
He's told reporters his resignation is "To give these people in the weatherboard and iron, in those regional and small towns the best opportunity."
Mr Joyce has also taken the time to thank the people of New England, saying he will go to the backbench and continue to represent the people that elected him.
