Sinn Féin becomes Northern Ireland’s largest Westminster party

Sinn Féin is the largest party in Northern Ireland's councils, assembly, and Westminster. The nationalist party, which does not accept seats in the House of Commons, has seven seats following Thursday's UK general election, the same as in 2019. Its leader, Mary Lou McDonald, stated it was time to "prepare for a new future together on this island". Following a difficult night for the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the party emerged victorious.
