Spiral of Misfortune Deepens for Strangford DUP - McNarry
Ulster Unionist Strangford assembly candidate, David McNarry, has said that the resignation of George Ennis was the latest episode in deepening downward spiral of DUP fortunes in the area.
In a statement, Mr McNarry said: “Last month a former DUP Mayor of Ards Borough Council resigned, and now a deselected former MLA has resigned.
“Coming on top of the contracts fiasco, and the prospect of pledged and unpledged DUP candidates in the forthcoming elections, this latest episode is surely further sign of deepening downward spiral of DUP fortunes in the area.
“Splits and local infighting are adding to the morass of confusion that’s emerging from DUP.”
He added: “George Ennis was a conscientious MLA and I always had good working relationship with him on constituency matters. I wish George well in his future endeavours.”
