Wellington mayoral candidate Graham Bloxham has announced he is quitting the race.

It appears Bloxham has announced he is quitting before submitting his nomination, which has not appeared on the Wellington City Council website.

Bloxham runs the Facebook page WellingtonLive and has faced controversy in recent months after being arrested for failing to stop for police, and being told by the Employment Relations Authority to pay a former employee $30,000.

In a LinkedIn post, Bloxham said he will not be running for the mayor of Wellington.

"After much research 'talking to the neighbours cat over the fence', I feel I can do a much better job outside of council."

Dude realised all his past muppetry would be dragged into the daylight, and he didn't have a hope in hell of winning anyway.
