Redpath re-elected as party officer

Mr Redpath will serve as one of the party’s 12 officers alongside Leader Mike Nesbitt and Chairman Lord Empey.

“It’s a tremendous honour to be re-elected to the party’s highest ruling body,” said Mr Redpath.

“This is a sign of the party’s ongoing commitment to Lagan Valley and I will continue to ensure that Lagan Valley remains one of the party’s foremost electoral priorities.

“Over the past year the Ulster Unionist party has achieved a great deal locally and nationally. In Lagan Valley we continue to provide a constituency office to the people of Dromore funded entirely out of party funds. We have selected a strong slate of council candidates and are confident of significant gains in May.”

Mike Nesbitt added: “Alex has served with distinction as a Party Officer and I congratulate him on his re-election. Alex’s service is particularly appreciated given the hard work he puts into representing the people of Lisburn on Lisburn City Council.”
