Foyle Assembly election 2022 - Constituency a test for Sinn Féin, SDLP and DUP candidates

Foyle is a key test in the 2022 election for all three parties that hold Assembly seats in the constituency.

The party was riding high in the last Assembly election in 2017, with Elisha McCallion topping the poll and subsequently defeating the SDLP's Mark Durkan in a snap Westminster poll to become Foyle MP.
