The Newtownabbey PUP has said that it is "saddened and bewildered" to hear of an active death threat towards one of its council candidates.
Macedon candidate Rosemary Bell-McCracken is understood to have received a threat on her life on the evening of Wednesday, May 10.
The Progressive Unionist Party has condemned the threat and has asked other political parties to come together against "hate speech, discrimination, harassment, or threat of violence," saying that such actions have no place in any society.
