UUP Withdraws From Three Constituencies
The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) has withdrawn from three constituencies ahead of the General Election on 08 June.
UUP leader Robin Swann said his party would not be standing candidates in Foyle, north Belfast and west Belfast.
Mr Swann said: "We have ratified Tom Elliott as our Westminster candidate in Fermanagh & South Tyrone and Danny Kinahan as our candidate in South Antrim. Both Tom and Danny have shown what a difference two Ulster Unionist MPs can make in Westminster. I want to see Tom and Danny returned to Westminster alongside other colleagues.
"For the purposes of this General Election, and only this election, we have also taken the unilateral decision to withdraw from the constituencies of North Belfast, West Belfast and Foyle."
