Please help.

what is George Washington announcing to the people in this statement below of the farewell address?




The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made.

Answer:

Washington cautions the individuals that political groups may look for to discourage the execution of the laws made by the government or to anticipate the branches of government from working out the powers given them by the constitution.
