Unionist stand off forces by-election

A by-election is to be held in Fermanagh after a UUP and DUP stand off, it was revealed tonight.

Ulster Unionist councillor Bertie Kerr objected to a Democratic Unionist bid to fill a vacancy at Fermanagh District Council without going to the electorate because the changing climate within unionism left the seat within the grasp of his party, he claimed.
