Arlene Foster has warned at the Assembly election on May 5th a “swing of only two votes in every hundred from the DUP to Sinn Féin would see Martin McGuinness become the next First Minister”.
Addressing the DUP Spring conference in Limavady, Co Derry, the DUP leader said it was moving “towards the start of the most important election campaign in years” which will shape the future of Northern Ireland and “determine who will be the First Minister to chart this course”.
