Mid Ulster Election Results 2022: No shocks as Sinn Féin hold on to three MLAs in Michelle O'Neill's home constituency

As expected, Mid Ulster did not throw up any surprises in the 2022 Assembly Election as the five incumbent MLAs were able to retain their seats for the next term, Sinn Féin once again polling strongly to pick up three seats.

Potential new First Minister Michelle O’Neill topped the poll in her home constituency with 10,845 first preference votes, while party colleagues Linda Dillon and Emma Sheerin both got more than 8,000, as did the DUP's Keith Buchanan.

That left all three just below the 8,615 quota to be elected, with Dillon and Sheerin swiftly following behind their party leader on the second count.
