North Down: Hermon Elected

Permalink 06:29:06 pm, Categories: News, Northern Ireland, Politics, Election 2005, 83 words  

Lady Sylvia Hermon has become the first UUP MP elected in this election. She won over 50% of the vote in a seat in which some thought she was under threat from the DUP. This despite a lower turnout than last time by some 5%.

Her share of the vote is down just 5% with the DUP standing. The Alliance's David Alderdice also polled 7.6% to take third place and Julian Robertson polled 2.5% for the Conservatives.

Full results from the BBC.

David, I actually said in my Pat Doherty post that that would be my last because I was going out, but just as I was finished typing it the Hermon story came in so I did a quick story on it too. I was just in the car and not even out of the street when the Trimble result came in.
