The SDLP's political director is stepping down two months after the party suffered significant losses in the Stormont Assembly election.
Carl Whyte, who had held the top post since 2020, will continue in his elected role as a councillor for the party in North Belfast.
The SDLP dropped from third-largest party at Stormont to fifth-largest in May's election after losing four MLAs, including deputy leader Nichola Mallon.
