"For personal reasons I have decided that I am unable to be that standard bearer," he said in a statement.
"I passionately support the National Party and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with whoever is selected to fight for Cessnock and Kurri Kurri's fair share."
The Nationals will now move to select a new candidate for the seat.
Liberal Premier Mike Baird is tipped to be returned at the March election.
