Northern Ireland: The key battlegrounds in the general election

A summer UK general election may have been a surprise, but Northern Ireland’s political parties have long been preparing for this campaign.

All 18 seats are up for grabs when polling day arrives on 4 July.

In the 2019 Westminster election, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) won the most seats in Northern Ireland with eight, but now has seven after former party leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson was suspended from the party.

Sinn Féin came second with seven, while the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) secured two and the Alliance Party one.

Some constituencies will be more competitive than others.

The election being held during Northern Ireland’s school summer holidays and parading season could affect turnout.

Constituency boundary changes may also have an impact.

BBC News NI has been looking at some of Northern Ireland’s key battlegrounds for the 2024 election.
