SINN Féin have selected Karen Mullan for co-option to replace newly elected MP Elisha McCallion as a Foyle MLA.
Speaking after being selected at a selection convention in Derry, Ms Mullan said:
“I want to thank my colleagues for placing their faith in me to represent this constituency alongside Raymond McCartney.
“I am proud and honoured to have been chosen by Derry Sinn Féin for co-option to the Assembly to replace Elisha McCallion, who has just been elected as MP for the city.
“There is no doubt that momentum has been building behind Sinn Féin in the city in recent years and, if my selection is approved by the Ard Chomhairle, I will play my part in continuing the growth of Sinn Féin in Derry.
“We are in a new era of politics in this city and I look forward to providing a new voice, alongside other Sinn Féin representatives, to ensure the people of Derry get the first class representation they deserve.”
