The UK Government will be watching the DUP ’s vote share in the local election, former First Minister and party leader Peter Robinson has said.
The Northern Ireland local elections will take place on Thursday, with polls predicting that Sinn Fein will overtake the DUP and become the largest party in local government for the first time.
Writing in a post on social media, Mr Robinson said that the Government will be watching the DUP’s vote share in the election and encouraged unionists to provide current party leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson with a strong mandate.
