“What South Antrim needs is a strong voice to champion the needs of all those who live and work here.”

Mr Kinahan represented the constituency at Westminster from 2015 to 2017 before losing his seat to the DUP.

He was subsequently elected to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council in May 2019 to represent the Ballyclare DEA.

Mr Kinahan added: “As someone who has represented the people of South Antrim at every level of government, through my roles as councillor, MLA and MP, I can promise that I will, as I have always done, listen to every individual, group and community, doing everything I can to deliver what is most needed.”
