* A change of legislation in 2001 meant that candidates could no longer describe themselves as "Independent Nationalists", "Independent Unionists" or "Christian"; the "Independents" in 2001 include candidates who had previously used all of these labels. The pre-2001 distinction between Independents and Independent Nationalists is a bit notional in this case.

by-election caused by DUP resignation, 4 February 2003
The SDLP candidate, Theo Laverty, won on the second count by 974 to 578. The Sinn Fein candidate, Cathal Newcombe, had failed to comply with the regulations correctly and so was described as "Independent" on the ballot paper. Liam McBride, unsuccessful independent candidate here in 2001, was Newcombe's election agent. Newcombe himself had been the election agent of successful independent candidate Seamus Blaney in 2001. (Thanks to Justin McCamphill for these snippets.)
