CHAIRMAN OF UUP COUNCILLORS WELCOMES CAROL BLACK TO THE FOLD
The Chairman of the Ulster Unionist Councillors Association Trevor Wilson today welcomed Dromore by-election victor Carol Black to the fold.
Mr Wilson said her victory had given the Party a great boost and that it showed that despite what the detractors in the DUP and the media had predicted, the UUP was still very much a force to be reckoned with.
In a statement Mr Wilson said,
“I am delighted to welcome Carol to the fold as an Ulster Unionist Councillor. Her victory has been a great boost to the Party and I have been getting calls from up and down the country from fellow Councillors expressing their congratulations and best wishes.
Our detractors in the DUP had arrogantly predicted a wash out victory for themselves, aided and abetted in no small measure by a largely subservient media. How wrong they were! This victory for the UUP underlines what we believe to be true. That we remain a force to be reckoned with in Northern Ireland and that over the next months and years the people of Northern Ireland will witness a resurgent Ulster Unionist Party.”
