The Ulster Unionist Party has confirmed that Janice Montgomery will
contest the Foyle seat in the upcoming General Election.
Ms Montgomery was selected at a meeting of the UUP Foyle Branch on
Thursday night. Her candidacy was ratified by party headquarters on
Friday.
The Drumahoe-native is currently a UUP Alderman on Derry City &
Strabane District Council.
She was co-opted to replace Ryan McCready as a councillor for the
Faughan District Electoral Area (DEA) in January.
She joins SDLP leader Colum Eastwood as one of two confirmed candidates
in Foyle.
Sandra Duffy is set run for Sinn Féin after gaining her party's
nomination. Her candidacy has yet to be confirmed by the party however.
