Saskatoon’s mayoral race is down to three candidates after Henry Dayday withdrew his nomination, according to the City of Saskatoon website.
The former mayor of Saskatoon from 1988 to 2000 was running against Don Atchison, Charlie Clark and Kelley Moore in the 2016 race.

The remaining candidates are expected to be on the ballot for the Oct. 26 election.
His decision to withdraw from the race comes days after a Mainstreet/Postmedia poll placed Dayday in fourth of the candidates with five per cent of the vote if an election were held that day.
He was scheduled to appear on Global News Morning on Tuesday, but Dayday called late Monday afternoon and cancelled the appearance.
Dayday announced his intention to run for mayor in June. He also declared his candidacy in the 2012 civic election, but dropped out of the race before the vote.
Dayday was not immediately available for comment early Tuesday evening.
