Stormont minister to fight council seat

The North is set for a bitter election contest after it was confirmed today that the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has selected one of its top politicians to fight a Co Fermanagh council seat.

DUP Enterprise Minister in the Stormont government, Arlene Foster, has been chosen to contest a by-election forced by the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) after the death of a DUP representative.
