Map by Conal Kelly
This constituency includes the whole of Strabane and Omagh District Councils. The MP has been Pat Doherty (SF) since the 2001 election; he defeated William Thompson (UUP) who won the seat when it was created for the 1997 election. It actually includes more of the old Mid Ulster constituency than does the new Mid Ulster.
