The 2AY early morning announcer flagged her intentions on Sunday in a statement which also declared her No.2 candidate on her election ticket, Steve Bowen, would seek to be deputy mayor.

"Given the significant support for our ticket at the election, the ongoing feedback Steve and I have received from the community, and taking time to consider my position, I've put my hand up to be considered by my fellow councillors for the position of mayor," Cr King said.

The former Prime News journalist and V8 Supercars reporter will vie for the leadership against car dealer and previous Albury mayor Stuart Baker.

Cr Baker announced his candidacy last week.

Another former mayor Alice Glachan has previously said she would seek the role and on Sunday she declined to rule out contesting the position.

Coincidentally, Cr Glachan was Albury's last female mayor, having preceded Kevin Mack in his first stint in the position before returning to the job prior to December's election.

Cr King's team was the most popular at last month's poll but Cr Baker secured the highest personal vote.
