The party will have no presence in East Belfast, North Down, South Belfast and Lagan Valley.

Sinn Fein has announced it will not run candidates in four constituencies in Northern Ireland in the General Election.

Mr Murphy said: “We need every constituency fighting back against that and we have decided to give the best chance in those four constituencies to those progressive and inclusive candidates who can win. Fermanagh and South Tyrone is one of the closest electoral races in the UK, with Sinn Fein’s Michelle Gildernew holding the seat in 2019 by just 57 votes.
