Parliamentary sources have revealed the father-of-two may be resigning later today, stepping down from his role in the Legislative Assembly.
In May this year, Mr Gunner resigned as Chief Minister of the Northern Territory.
At the time he said his head and heart were no longer in the job, but with his family.
"There is never a perfect time to step back, walk away, and give others a go. But for me and my family, this feels like the right time," he said.
"I have grappled with this decision for some weeks. But welcoming little Nash into the world sealed the deal.
"After a lot of hard work, the foundations for the Territory's future are set. They are solid. An economy that is strong and getting stronger.

Michael Gunner was the first Territory-born Chief Minister of the NT.
"I was born here, I've worked and started a family here, I will die happy here," he said during his resignation speech earlier in the year.
"I love the Territory - because it's a place of potential and possibility for all of us.
"It doesn't matter who you are - you can have a crack and make something of yourself. "
