David Honeyford and Michelle Guy selected as Alliance Lagan Valley Assembly candidates
Alliance MLAs David Honeyford and Michelle Guy have been selected to stand for the party in Lagan Valley in the 2027 Assembly election.
Mr Honeyford said: “My number one priority has always been delivering for the people of Lagan Valley, and I’m proud to have been chosen to stand again.
"This election offers voters in Lagan Valley a very clear choice – between the same division, dysfunction, scandal and sleaze peddled by others, or the politics of hope, ambition and progress offered by your cross-community Alliance team.
“Our vision for Northern Ireland is a shared society in which people get the healthcare they need when they need it, life is more affordable for our hard-working families, and our communities are safer, more sustainable, and more prosperous.
“Small businesses and the infrastructure needed to keep local enterprise going are the lifeblood of our economy. I’ve worked to take action on energy costs, pushed for legislation to support our small businesses, and championed the reopening of the Knockmore Line.
“What’s clear is that Stormont isn’t working as it should and that people are looking for a step change. This May we have a chance to say enough is enough, and I know we can grasp it.”
Ms Guy added: “Lagan Valley is my home, it’s my family’s home, and being given the chance to serve the area as part of a strong Alliance team, alongside my friend and colleague David, is a genuine privilege.
“We want to create a shared, inclusive society in which everyone is able to reach their fullest potential, and that includes giving our children get the best possible start in life.
"Through my position on the Education Committee, I’m proud to have stood up for teachers, school staff, and our SEND families, championing affordable childcare and integrated education, and making the case that every child gets what they need in order to thrive.
“In this election, every vote matters. In May, we have the opportunity to fix our broken system, reject tribal politics, and help build a shared, ambitious, more sustainable future for everyone in Northern Ireland.
"That’s the kind of representation we in Alliance want to provide, it’s the vision of the future we’re willing to fight for, and in this upcoming election we have the chance to deliver it.”
