South Belfast Assembly election 2022 - Candidates in Northern Ireland's most diverse constituency

Five parties hold one seat apiece in Northern Ireland's most diverse constituency, making the May 5 election a tightly fought contest.

The last Assembly election in 2017 turned out to be a real nail-biter with it being the last result to be declared on the night of the count. On the penultimate count, Emma Little Pengelly of the DUP was only 25.24 votes behind her running mate Christopher Stalford, and only 58.14 behind the UUP's Michael Henderson.

This year, both Alliance and the SDLP are each fielding two candidates in the outside hope of picking up an extra seat, making South Belfast one of the key constituencies to watch.
