Jagmeet Singh has resigned as an Ontario MPP three weeks after taking the helm of the federal New Democrats.

Singh made it official Friday, announcing he has stepped down as Bramalea-Gore-Malton NDP MPP.

“It has been an honour serving the people of Bramalea-Gore-Malton and I'm looking forward to continuing this work on the federal level, building a more fair and just Canada,” he said in a statement.

But Singh will be back at Queen's Park on Monday to meet with provincial NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.

First elected as an MPP in 2011, he won the federal leadership on Oct. 1.

Premier Kathleen Wynne has said there will be no byelection in Bramalea-Gore-Malton as there is a provincial election on June 7, 2018.

Singh has not yet determined where he will run to be an MP in the 2019 federal election.
