Stage 18: Of the 1608 votes transferred to Benson from John Beattie, 336 (20.90%) went to Wilson (UKUP), 279 (17.35%) to Shannon (DUP) and 140 (8.71%) to Danny McCarthy (SDLP) with 853 (53.04%) non-transferable.

The SDLP polled very well in first preferences but attracted practically no transfers; Danny McCarthy was the runner-up. Both DUP and UUP piled most of their first preferences onto their two lead candidates, but the transferred surplus votes pulled in later runners. This was always the second most likely seat for the UKUP to win.
