DUP double celebration as Morrow deemed elected on second count
It's been a day of jubilation for the DUP in Fermanagh-South Tyrone as both party leader Arlene Foster and her running mate Maurice Morrow were the first two of the six candidates to be elected.
Morrow picked up the extra votes he needed from Foster’s spillover to be returned as an MLA on the second stage of the count at Omagh Leisure Centre.
Michelle Gildernew, who took 11.73 of Foster’s transfers, still needs 114.27 votes to make the quota, meanwhile, with her Sinn Fein colleages Phil Flanagan, Sean Lynch and John Feely still quite a bit from the finishing line.
