The pantomime over who will be first or deputy first minister must end, Alliance Party leader Naomi Long has said.
She said it made "absolutely no sense" that the joint roles were being used in the Stormont election campaign to "terrorise people into voting for somebody to keep the other side out".
People are "wasting" their vote next week if they choose parties based on the constitutional question "when there are so many other pressing issues", she added.
