Trimble vote delayed for 24 hours by hardline unionists
UUP leader David Trimble will have to wait until tomorrow to find out if he can be re-elected as the North’s new First Minister after a unionist petition halted the vote today.
The anti-agreement Northern Ireland Unionist Party, which has three MLAs, collected 30 signatures in a "petition of concern" to block the re-designation of three Alliance Party members as unionists.
