Fine Gael held its selection convention last night to choose the party candidate to contest the upcoming General Election in the four-seater Sligo Leitrim constituency.
Sitting TD, former Minister Frank Feighan was the candidate selected.
Three contenders had put their names forward for selection last night, but councillor Thomas Walsh withdrew before a vote.
Former Minister John Perry and Frank Feighin’s name then went forward for a vote and deputy Feighin received a strong mandate.
It’s not yet clear if the party will add any further names to the ticket to contest the constituency.
