On Sunday TUV leader Jim Allister said he would back a non-party candidate who could embrace the support of all unionists
The DUP would be “willing to stand aside” in Fermanagh-South Tyrone for a non-party pro-union candidate, interim leader Gavin Robinson has said.
UUP leader Doug Beattie previously indicated he is not in favour of unionist electoral pacts, and said his party has already selected local councillor Dianne Armstrong to stand in Fermanagh-South Tyrone. Last week, the DUP and the TUV announced they would not run candidates in the North Down constituency in favour of independent unionist Alex Easton who is challenging the incumbent Stephen Farry , and where former military leader Tim Collins is the UUP candidate.
“We have not contested this seat in a Westminster election since 2005. Sinn Fein has held the seat for all but two of the last 23 years yet many across the constituency question what their absentee MP has delivered for the area.” Mr Allister told the BBC’s Sunday Politics programme: “I think the best idea would be a non-party candidate who could embrace the support of all unionists.
