Northern Ireland assembly election: final results

Voters in Northern Ireland voted on 2 March to elect a new assembly at Stormont only 10 months after the last poll, following the collapse of the previous government. Power sharing is built into the province’s constitutional arrangements. Unionist parties failed to win a majority of seats for the first time, while Sinn Féin closed the gap with the largest party, the Democratic Unionists, to just one seat.
