Andrew Muir said: “I am very proud to have been selected to stand for Alliance in Newry and Armagh.
“A vote for me is a vote for a shared future. Only the Alliance Party is totally committed in word and deed to delivering a Shared Future. The Alliance Party is not about the sectarian and discriminatory politics of the past but rather about tackling division and building a new Northern Ireland based upon a Shared Future.
“With the costs of division reinvested into creating a vibrant knowledge based economy, Alliance will protect the environment and create jobs through a “Green New Deal” whilst also delivering safer and healthier communities.
“Alliance is the only party that offers the public a chance to vote for a better society for all.”
