The Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council was
established as a result of the 2012 reform of local government. It
replaces the old Antrim Borough Council and Newtownabbey Borough
Council.
In the 2019 elections, the DUP managed to remain the
largest party on the council but lost a seat to Alliance. Overall
the unionist parties fared poorly, losing six seats in aggregate.
The TUV lost both of their representatives on the council.
Alliance were the main beneficiaries and added three seats for a
total of seven. Sinn Féin also added two seats bringing their new
tally to five.

McCarthy (UUP)
finished 132.12 votes behind Gilmour (Alliance) with no
undistributed surpluses. (I should note that Gilmour is my
daughter's godmother - NW.)
| First Count: Fraser Agnew (UUP) 1,275 Tom Campbell (Alliance) 745 William Ball (DUP) 738 Ben Kelso (UUP) 587 Stephen Ross (DUP) 557 Pamela Barr (DUP) 526 Trevor Mawhinney (TUV) 524 Lynn Frazer (Alliance Party) 424 Gary Grattan (NI21) 369 Darren Logan (PUP) 343 Robert Hill (DUP) 293 Jackie Shaw (PUP) 225 |

Mawhinney (TUV)
finished 31.72 votes behind Ross (DUP), with a UUP
surplus (from Alliance transfers) of 26 undistributed which
might have widened the margin.
Irish
Observer and Faha
both projected 3 DUP, 2 UUP, 1 Alliance, which was the
actual result.
Westminster

these
wards: Ballyclare East, Ballyclare West, Ballynure,

Electorate: 13,190; votes cast: 6,821 (51.7%); invalid votes: 63 (0.9%); valid votes: 6,758; quota: 1,127.
Having
finished fourth on first preferences, English (Alliance)
will have been disapointed to finish 191.25 votes behind
Girvan (DUP) for the final seat.
| First Count: Mandy Girvan (DUP) 930 Jim Bingham (UUP) 819 Vera McWilliam (UUP) 815 David Arthurs (TUV) 750 Tim Girvan (DUP) 584 Pat McCudden (Alliance Party) 553 Jordan Greer (DUP) 493 Gary English (NI21) 312 Scott McDowell (PUP) 214 David McMaster (Independent) 104 Robert Moore (Independent) 39 |

McCudden
(Alliance) finished 170 votes behind Arthurs (TUV) for the
final seat.
Irish Observer and Faha both projected 3 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 Alliance; this was therefore a disappointing result for Alliance and the DUP, and a good one for the UUP and TUV.
Westminster
seat:
East Antrim

Belfast
Includes
these wards: Abbey, Carnmoney Hill, O'Neill, Rathcoole,
Valley, and Whitehouse.
| First Count: Billy Webb (Alliance) 1,127 Paul Hamill (DUP) 1,043 Thomas Hogg (DUP) 999 Robert Foster (UUP) 956 Taylor McGrann (SF) 765 Stafford Ward (Ind) 343 Victor Robinson (DUP) 327 David McCullough (DUP) 321 David Hollis (TUV) 223 Robert Hill (UKIP) 154 |

Stafford
(Ind) finished 276.22 votes behind McGrann (SF), with
surpluses of 61 (UUP) and 81.42 (DUP) votes undistributed
which would have narrowed the margin.
| First Count: Billy De Courcy (DUP) 844 Billy Webb (Alliance) 830 David Hollis (TUV) 645 Thomas Hogg (DUP) 581 Brónach Anglin (SF) 558 Paul Hamill (DUP) 538 John Scott (UUP) 538 Ken Wilkinson (PUP) 503 Victor Robinson (DUP) 462 Dineen Walker (DUP) 256 Dominic Mullaghan (SDLP) 178 |

Anglin
(SF) finished 160.79 votes behind Scott (UUP), with DUP
surpluses totalling 64 votes undistributed which would have
widened the margin. Although Anglin was fifth on first
preferences, she got only 41 transfers from the SDLP's
first-round elimination, and then another 43 via the
consequent Alliance surplus, so less than half of the SDLP
vote overall; and she picked up only six more in the
remaining counts. The combined Nationalist vote started with
0.87 of a quota and finished with 0.76.
Westminster

Steeple, and Stiles.

Electorate: 15,051; votes cast: 6,512 (43.3%); invalid votes: 80 (1.2%); valid votes: 6,432; quota: 919.
Magee
(SF) was 83.76 votes behind Montgomery (UUP) for the final
seat, the UUP having pulled ahead on transfers from their
former party colleague Cochrane-Watson (Ind). An
undistributed surplus from Montgomery's UUP running mate
(Smyth) would have only widened the gap.
| First Count: Adrian Cochrane-Watson (UUP) 785 Nigel Kells (DUP) 662 Noel Maguire (Sinn Féin) 632 John Smyth (DUP) 631 Neil Kelly (Alliance) 620 Roisin Lynch (SDLP) 608 Drew Ritchie (UUP) 572 Richard Cairns (TUV) 560 Brian Graham (DUP) 540 Sian O'Neill (Alliance) 185 George Young (NI21) 144 |

Electorate 14,408; total poll: 6,040 (41.9%); invalid votes 101 (1.7%); valid votes 5,939; quota 849.
Maguire
(SF) was 40.96 votes behind Lynch (SDLP) for the final
seat, the SDLP having pulled ahead on transfers from the
TUV, both directly and via a UUP surplus. It is unusual
(though not unprecedented) for a candidate to lose to four
others who polled fewer first preferences.
Irish
Observer and Faha
both projected 2 DUP, 2 UUP, 1 Alliance, 1 SF; this was a
good result for the SDLP.

Irish
Observer projected 3 DUP, 1 SF, 1 APNI, 1 UUP, 1
SDLP; Faha
projected 2 DUP, 2 SF, 1 APNI, 1 UUP, 1 SDLP. This is
therefore a good result for the UUP who won a second seat.
Westminster

| First Count: Henry Cushinan (SF) 1,064 Glenn Finlay (Alliance) 989 Linda Clarke (DUP) 965 Jordan Greer (DUP) 907 Ryan Wilson (SDLP) 902 Roderick Swann (UUP) 711 Andrew Maguire (SF) 552 Gareth Thomas (UUP) 424 |

Electorate: 12,519; votes cast: 6,590 (52.6%); invalid votes: 76 (1.2%); valid votes: 6,514; quota: 1,086.
Greer (DUP) was just 47 votes behind Clarke (also DUP) for the last seat. There was an undistributed suplus of 25 (Alliance) which would probably have made little difference.
| First Count: Roderick Swann (UUP) 1,111 Linda Clarke (DUP) 892 Trevor Beatty (DUP) 886 Henry Cushinan (Sinn Féin) 778 Anthony Brady (Sinn Féin) 702 Brian Duffin (SDLP) 677 Julian McGrath (Alliance Party) 490 Ryan Wilson (SDLP) 450 |

Electorate 11,922; total poll: 6,057 (50.8%); invalid votes 71 (1.2%); valid votes 5,986; quota 998.
Brady (SF) was 45.78 votes behind Cushinan (also SF) for the last seat. There were undistributed supluses of 23 (DUP) and 9 (SDLP) whihc would have made little difference.
Irish
Observer projected 2 DUP, 2 SF, 1 SDLP; Faha
projected 2 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 SF, 1 SDLP, which was the
actual result. Unionists had 2.9 quotas here, and
Nationalists 2.6, so there was no third Nationalist seat
in prospect.
Westminster
seat:
South
Antrim
Includes these wards: Aldergrove, Clady,
Crumlin, Mallusk, and Templepatrick.
| First Count: Vikki McCauley (Alliance) 1,221 Matthew Magill (DUP) 1,164 Thomas Burns (SDLP) 1,125 Anne-Marie Logue (SF) 1,095 Paul Michael (UUP) 893 Mervyn Rea (UUP) 568 Cathy Rooney (SF) 505 Ben Mallon (DUP) 481 |

Electorate: 14,042; votes cast: 7,121 (50.7%); invalid votes: 69 (1.0%); valid votes: 7,052; quota: 1,176.
The
incumbent Rea (UUP) lost his seat to Alliance. He was
486.52 votes behind his running mate (Michael) for the
last seat. There were undistributed supluses of 21.8
(SDLP) and 391.56 (SF) which would likely have widened
the gap.
| First Count: Anne-Marie Logue (Sinn Féin) 1,212 Thomas Burns (SDLP) 975 Matthew Magill (DUP) 923 Paul Michael (UUP) 798 Mervyn Rea (UUP) 726 Roy Thompson (DUP) 609 Alan Lawther (Alliance) 547 Heather Fee (NI21) 276 Oran Keenan (SDLP) 121 |
Votes by Party: DUP 1,532 (24.8%) 1 seat UUP 1,524 (24.6%) 2 seats SF 1,212 (19.6%) 1 seat SDLP 1,096 (17.7%) 1 seat Alliance 547 (8.8%) NI21 276 (4.5%) |
Electorate 12,801; total poll: 6,239 (48.7%); invalid votes 52 (0.8%); valid votes 6,187; quota 1,032.
Lawther
(Alliance)
was 211.63 votes behind Rea (UUP) for the last seat,
with an SDLP surplus of 58 and a UUP surplus of 57
undistributed which might have slightly widened the
final margin. An impressive balancing act here by the
UUP, who won a second seat with fewer first
preferences in total than the DUP.
Irish
Observer projected 2 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 SDLP, 1
Alliance; Faha
projected 1 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 SDLP, 1 Alliance,
1 SF. The DUP and Alliance have cause for
disappointment at the result; the UUP and SF cause for
cheer.
