Howard Dean is preparing to step down as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Dean, a physician and former Vermont governor who was briefly his party's presidential front-runner in 2004, was elected DNC chairman in 2005 and has long vowed to serve only one, four-year term. At a post-election news conference in Washington last week, Dean indicated again that he didn't plan to stay on.
While some speculated that Dean's work with Barack Obama's campaign might lead him to stick around for a second term, aides confirmed he plans to leave when his term expires in January.
DNC Secretary Alice Germond told FOXNews.com that Dean was already expected to limit himself to one term, though he hasn't made any formal announcements.
"Whoever is chair has historically done it for one term," she said. "I think there was already an assumption that (Dean would) be moving on to something."
President-elect Obama, a Democrat, was expected to choose Dean's successor. Traditionally, the president selects the national chairman of his own party.

His stepping down frees him for a position on the staff.
