Sources claim Rodgers won't run for SDLP leadership

Sources close to Agriculture Minister Brid Rodgers today appeared to rule out her mounting a challenge to Mr Durkan.

However, they would not rule out that she would run for the post of deputy leader.

‘‘Brid has no plan to run for leader but she is considering what role she might play in the future,’’ a source close to her said.

‘‘We just have to see what develops.’’
