No Christmas election for Northern Ireland Assembly

No Christmas election for Northern Ireland Assembly





There will not be a Stormont assembly election before Christmas, the Northern Ireland secretary has confirmed.

Chris Heaton-Harris had said he would call another poll after the deadline to restore power-sharing passed last week.

The law requires an election within 12 weeks of that 28 October deadline but it will not happen next month.

Devolved government has not functioned since February, with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) blocking the formation of the ruling executive.

The party has taken that stance in its protest against the post-Brexit trading arrangement known as the Northern Ireland Protocol.


What has Chris Heaton-Harris said?
It had been expected that a poll could be held on 15 December and electoral staff had been preparing for that date.

But on Friday, Mr Heaton-Harris said that, having heard people's concerns about the impact and cost of a snap election, it would not take place "ahead of the festive season".

He said he would lay out his next steps in Parliament next week, and that his aim was in line with what the people of Northern Ireland deserved - the restoration of a devolved government.

"My duty is to create the right environment for the parties in Northern Ireland to work together to restore the devolved institutions and deliver on crucial issues impacting Northern Ireland's people," said Mr Heaton-Harris.

"I do not take this duty lightly, nor do I overlook the very real concerns people have around their cost of living."

His comments came two days after Northern Ireland Office Minister Steve Baker said a date for another Stormont election would be confirmed soon.
