ONE NEWS: Long time Greens co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons is likely to retire from politics before the 2011 election.
The 63-year-old expects this election campaign to be her last.
Fitzsimons originally wanted to retire after this year's election, but agreed to stay on following the death of co-leader Rod Donald in 2005.
Fitzsimons has been at the helm for 13 years and been in Parliament since 1996, but says she has other things to do.
The Green Party constitution requires a male and female to work as co-leaders.
Sue Bradford and Metiria Turei have been tipped to replace Fitzsimons as party co-leader with Russell Norman.
