SINN Féin councillor Linda Dillon has been chosen to contest the Mid Ulster seat vacated by deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.

Ms Dillon, the chair of Mid Ulster Council, was selected to run in the constituency alongside sitting assembly members Ian Milne and Michelle O'Neill.

Mr McGuinness announced last month he is to contest May's assembly elections in his home constituency of Foyle.
