Former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy is to lend his support to the North's Alliance Party in its bid for Assembly seats in the upcoming election.
Mr Kennedy, who has supported previous Alliance election campaigns, will join the party's candidates in a number of constituencies where they are hoping to gain or retain Stormont seats.
He will campaign alongside Alliance leader David Ford, deputy leader Naomi Long and Anna Lo, who is targeting a seat in South Belfast.
Mr Kennedy is the second major political figure from across the Irish sea to take part in the Assembly Election campaign.
On Monday Conservative leader David Cameron visited the seaside town of Bangor, Co Down to support the North's Tories' campaign.
Fine Gael's Enda Kenny also travelled North of the border to back the SDLP's campaign in Newry.
The North goes to the polls on March 7th to elect a new Assembly, with the Taoiseach and British Prime Minister Tony Blair hoping it will lead to the formation of a power sharing government next month.
