TUV’s challenge for one of the three Unionist held seats in Fermanagh & South Tyrone constituency commenced on Monday with their candidate, former UDR soldier and Police officer Alex Elliott delivering his nomination to the Electoral Office in Omagh. Commenting after nomination, Alex Elliott stated,

“While we haven’t contested this constituency before in an Assembly poll TUV did very well in the last PR (European) election. With 35% of the Unionist electorate deciding not to vote at the Westminster election; I would encourage every Unionist to turn out on Election Day and help TUV deliver change within a Stormont that has failed our people. I continue to encourage Unionist voters to vote for all of the Unionist candidates on the ballot paper immaterial of any personal beliefs held.

“I look forward to the challenge of the election campaign and have a strong team of workers supporting me”.

Alex Elliott was proposed by retired business woman Mrs. Margaret Veitch from Enniskillen whose parents were murdered in the Poppy Day Massacre in 1987 and seconded by Mr. George Davis a well known member of the Orange Institutions in County Fermanagh.
