Northern Ireland will hold an election in early 2023 – UK minister

LONDON (Reuters) – Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris said on Thursday there would be an election in the province in the first three months of next year after Britain pushed back a deadline to call a new vote.

“I’ve given myself two periods of six weeks … that simply means the first three months of next year,” Heaton-Harris said on Sky News.
