The deputy leader of the DUP, Peter Robinson, has said his party will only enter a candidate for the Fermanagh/South Tyrone constituency if no other anti-Agreement candidate is prepared to run.

The DUP says there will, after all, be an anti-Agreement candidate in the Fermanagh/South Tyrone parliamentary elections.

The Ulster Unionist Party in Fermanagh/South Tyrone has chosen a pro-Agreement candidate to fight the upcoming general election.

David Trimble received a boost today when UUP vice chairman James Cooper formally put his name forward for the Fermanagh/South Tyrone seat being vacated by Ken Maginnis at the next British general election.
