Traditional Unionist Voice will not win Dromore seat
The Traditional Unionist Voice has polled well in the Dromore By-Election but will not win the seat.
After the first count the DUP topped the poll with 1069 votes.
This puts them in a head-to-head battle for the seat with the Ulster Unionist Party on 910 votes.
The Traditional Unionist Voice took 739 votes to come third over all on the first count.
But when the various rounds of counting take place it will come down to a contest between the two main unionist parties and the Traditional Unionist Voice tranfers will decide who wins.
With around 20 per cent of the overall vote Jim Allister said it was a good day for the Traditional Unionist Voice.
First Preference Count:
Paul Stewart (DUP) 1069
Carol Black (UUP) 912
Keith Harbinson (TUV) 739
David Griffen (Alliance) 357
Paul Gribben (SF) 350
John Drake (SDLP) 290
Helen Corry (Green Party) 59
Counting continues.
