In this week’s election in Northern Ireland, the Nationalist Sinn Fin Party won the most votes, the most in the history of the country.

According to the final count released on Saturday (7/5), Sinn Féin won 29% of the vote and 27 of the 90 seats that make up the Belfast Assembly (Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, came in second with 25 seats). . Sinn Féin, once a political member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), won the election with 21.3% of the vote against the majority Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the liberal center, the Allianz Party, with 13.5%. %

Thus, Michelle O’Neill, the leader of the United Kingdom, will try to run for office.

No nationalist politician has held this position since the founding of Northern Ireland after Ireland’s Partition Treaty of 1921.
