Election Is An Opportunity For 'Strong Leadership And Positive Change' – SF
Sinn Féin has welcomed the upcoming UK General Election as an opportunity to "endorse strong leadership and positive change".
Party Vice President and NI's First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, has confirmed the party's first selection of candidates.
Sandra Duffy will run in Foyle, Catherine Nelson in Upper Bann, Cathal Mallaghan in Mid Ulster, Dáire Hughes in Newry/Armagh, Chris Hazzard in South Down, Paul Maskey in West Belfast, Declan Kearney in South Antrim and Philip McGuigan in North Antrim.
Michelle O'Neill said: "In this election people can send a clear message about what they want for the future.
"By voting for Sinn Féin people are endorsing strong leadership, positive change, and a commitment to work for all.
"People have an opportunity to vote for the decisions about their lives and their future to be made here, at home, to support better funding for our public services, and to reject years of Tory cuts which have targeted workers and families.
"Change will only be delivered in the North by working together in the Executive and Assembly, but this election is our chance to send a clear message about the future we want.
"Let's seize the opportunity to return the strongest Sinn Féin team and keep moving forward to a new and better future."
