[PAR] [TLE] Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2017 [SEP] The 2017 election to the Northern Ireland Assembly was held on 2 March 2017.  The election was held to elect members (MLAs) following the resignation of deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness in protest over the Renewable Heat Incentive scandal.  McGuinness' position was not filled, and thus by law his resignation triggered an election.  It was the sixth election since the Assembly was re-established in 1998, and the first to implement a reduction in size to 90 MLAs (versus the previous 108). [PAR] [TLE] Ulster Unionist Party leadership election, 2017 [SEP] An election for the leadership of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) was held on 8 April 2017 at the party's Annual General Meeting.  Elections are held each year, with the incumbent usually reelected unopposed.  The 2017 contested election was triggered after incumbent Leader Mike Nesbitt, elected in 2012, announced following the 2017 assembly election his intention to step down as party leader.  While initially, Robin Swann and Steve Aiken were expected to run against each other (with candidacies by Doug Beattie, Robbie Butler and Roy Beggs, Jr. also considered possible), in the end only Swann ran and was elected unopposed.
