NI Election 2022: Final Results
History has been made ⬇️
Counting in what was an extraordinary NI Assembly Election, finally came to a close in the early hours of Sunday morning in Magherafelt.
For Sinn Fein it was also the most memorable as it made history by becoming the biggest party at Stormont for the very first time.
In doing so, the DUP was reduced to runners-up and it means the role of First Minister will now be in the hands of party vice-president Michelle O’Neill who described the moment as ‘ushering in a new era in politics’
Equally impressive was the Alliance surge – Naomi Long’s party gained seats.
FINAL RESULTS IN 2022 NI ELECTION
Secretary of State Brandon Lewis has urged Northern Ireland's political parties to form an Executive as soon as possible.
In a statement, Mr Lewis said: "I encourage the parties to form an executive as soon as possible.
"The people of Northern Ireland deserve a stable and accountable local government that delivers on the issues that matter most to them.
"The electorate delivered a number of messages on Thursday.
"They were clear that they want a fully functioning devolved government in Northern Ireland, they want the issues around the protocol addressed, and that they want politics to work better."
Mr Lewis added: "Over the coming days I will be meeting with all the party leaders and will urge them to restore the Stormont institutions at the earliest possible moment, starting with the nomination of an Assembly Speaker within eight days.
"The Government remains committed to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and will continue to work with the Northern Ireland parties and the Irish Government to deliver its vision for reconciliation, equality, respect for rights and parity of esteem.
"Together, we must move forward towards a brighter future - that means delivering for all the people of Northern Ireland."
