“Following our annual internal election processes Rt. Hon. Gavin Robinson MP has been re-elected as Leader of the Democratic Unionist Party.
Gavin has provided strong and steady leadership, and his re-election reflects the confidence and unity within our ranks as we continue to serve the people of Northern Ireland.
Strangford MLA Michelle McIlveen has be elected as Deputy Leader of the Party. I wish to extend my warmest congratulations to Michelle on her election.
Michelle has been a dedicated servant of our Party and the wider Unionist cause for many years, bringing a wealth of experience, talent, and commitment to everything she does. Her service in ministerial roles and her tireless advocacy for her constituents have demonstrated her capability and determination and the ethos with which she approaches public office.
I have no doubt she will bring great energy to her new role, working alongside our Leader to advance the values and priorities of the Democratic Unionist Party”.
