Foyle: SDLP leader Mr Mark Durkan won his party's first Assembly seat. However, the party's vote fell by almost 12 per cent in the constituency of his former leader, Mr John Hume, with Sinn Féin coming a close second.
Sinn Féin chairman Mr Mitchel McLaughlin and the DUP's Mr William Hay retained their seats. Former IRA hunger striker Mr Raymond McCartney was in fourth position after the first count.
Journalist and broadcaster Mr Eamonn McCann's transfers could ultimately decide if the SDLP manages to hold on to its third Assembly seat in Derry's Foyle Constituency, or if they lose that seat to Sinn Féin.
Sinn Féin's vote in the constituency increased by 6.4 per cent but the SDLP managed to stay ahead of Sinn Féin in terms of the most popular nationalist party locally by 36.1 per cent to 32.4 per cent, a lead of just 1,532 votes compared to a lead of almost 12,000 in the previous Assembly elections.
Standing on a Socialist Environmental Alliance ticket in his first election in more than 30 years, Mr McCann polled 2,257 votes, over 500 more than he had predicted.
It's believed that many of Mr McCann's voters were influenced by his stance against plans by Derry City Council to extend its runway at City of Derry Airport. That planned extension involves the demolition of 17 houses and a campaign mounted by people who live close to the airport has attracted a lot of cross-community support.
The major parties on Derry City Council support the development, among them the SDLP, and it's conceivable, based on the first preference votes, that Mr McCann's transfers could cost the SDLP their third seat at the expense of Sinn Féin.
Sinn Féin believe that there is a realistic chance of them winning the SDLP's Westminster seat in Derry if Mr Hume retires at the next general election.
