Election success for DUP’s new faces

Congratulating them on their appointment Upper Bann MP David Simpson said: “The DUP in Upper Bann has seen significant growth in recent months and in particular we have been delighted to receive a considerable number of young people into membership.

“This is healthy for a political party as it helps to ensure that a balance of youth and experience is maintained at all levels including among election candidates. It is also vitally important if a political party is to continue to remain relevant and is to continue to have roots and a network in the community.

“It is very gratifying for us here in Craigavon that two of our younger members have been appointed as officers at Queen’s University DUA. I want to wish them every success in their studies and assure them that there will always be opportunities for people with ability in the DUP.
