He wouldn't actually be allowed to (regardless of how much effort he puts in). See:
Members of Parliaments and Assemblies | Electoral Commission
Normally, there's a "dual mandate", where a mayor can also be an MP. However, Greater Manchester is an exception (along with West Yorkshire) because the mayor is also the Police and Crime Commissioner. So, Galloway is allowed to stand for mayor, but in the unlikely event that he gets elected then he'll have to step down as MP.

George Galloway is considering standing against Andy Burnham to be the mayor of Greater Manchester, just two weeks after he was elected MP for Rochdale.
He confirmed to the Guardian that he was thinking of challenging Burnham in May’s local elections after telling the Manchester Evening News: “If I stand it would be on a platform of a better deal for Manchester’s surrounding towns.
“Andy Burnham has been seduced by the undoubtedly bright lights of the metropolis. But it’s fairly dark and austere out here in ‘Greater’ Manchester.”
