Former Stormont health minister Robin Swann has put his name forward to be the Ulster Unionist Party’s (UUP) candidate in South Antrim in the next general election.

Mr Swann, currently an MLA in North Antrim, will attempt to switch constituencies in a bid to unseat the DUP’s Paul Girvan at the election, which is expected to take place later this year.
