Final results in for 2003 NI Assembly election
UPDATE: With all counts declared on Friday evening the clear winners are the Rev Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party who have claimed 10 more seats on the Assembly and Sinn Féin who have won 6 seats.
The early progress by the DUP, some of which has been clawed back as the counts progressed, have prompted hard liners within the Ulster Unionist Party, in particular Jeffery Donaldson, to renew outspoken criticism of the Ulster Unionist Party's pro-agreement leadership stance of former First Minister David Trimble.
The SDLP led by former Deputy First Minister Mark Durkan have fared much worse than many expected from the retirement of the party's old guard and a heavy encroachment into their vote share by Sinn Fein. Several SDLP candidates won seats as the complex vote transfer process was completed but the SDLP have six fewer seats than in 1998.
Final results by Constituency:
In the 2003 Assembly Election the 20 parties have fielded 256 candidates in the 18 constituencies for the 108 seats in the Northern Ireland Legislative Assembly.
