The Alliance Party has announced that John Blair MLA is to stand in the upcoming general election in the South Antrim constituency.
South Antrim is currently held by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) with a majority of almost 2,700. Paul Girvan MP won the seat in 2017.
The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) have selected Robin Swann to run in South Antrim this year as they hope to take the seat from the DUP.
Commenting on his selection, Blair said: “Delighted to be Alliance’s South Antrim Westminster candidate and offering positive and progressive politics in the campaign ahead.”
“As ever, the top priority is to serve all of the people in South Antrim and deliver for them.”
