## Resource

Ulster Unionist Party has officially nominated Kyle Savage to run in Upper Bann, the seat once held by Doug Beattie—who’s now an independent. Savage, with experience as deputy lord mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, is backed by party leader Jon Burrows, who says members trust him to be their united voice at Stormont. Savage himself promises common sense and practical leadership, setting up a key race as he aims to bring stability and results to the constituency ahead of next year’s elections.
