Mrs. Arlene Foster has indicated that
she will be standing for selection as
a prospective candidate for the
Assembly election for the Ulster
Unionist party. Last week the local branch of the party advertised for candidates
willing to put their names forward for selection to apply by the
end of this month. Selection is expected to take place in early
October.
Mrs. Foster is the first to officially state that she is a candidate for
selection.
“A number of people have approached me to put my name
forward,” Mrs. Foster said this week. After discussing the
situation with her family and colleagues, she decided to put her
name forward.
