Fermanagh and South Tyrone

This constituency included most of the old Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency.

Most of the old Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency survived as the new Fermanagh and South Tyrone after 1995, with some territory lost to Mid Ulster. The Member of Parliament throughout this period was Ken Maginnis (UUP), who defeated the sitting Republican MP in 1983.
