Mr Allister said he has been contacted by the DUP about Fermanagh-South Tyrone on Friday
A proposal to agree a non-party unionist candidate to run in the Fermanagh-South Tyrone Westminster seat has been suggested. TUV leader Jim Allister said he has been contacted by the DUP about the marginal constituency on Friday ahead of the July 4 poll.
Ms Gildernew has ruled herself out of defending the seat because she is standing in the European elections for the Irish Midlands-North West constituency instead. Sinn Fein has not yet announced its candidate for 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.He 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. If that can be achieved, well and good, but that’s the vision and the mission at present.
