A former North Antrim Assembly Election candidate has quit the Ulster Unionist Party for the DUP.
Andrew Wright is thought to have left over its stance on abortion where there's a fatal foetal abnormality.
The party supports termination in this case but allows a free vote.
An Ulster Unionist Party spokesman said at no time was Andrew asked or expected to change his view.
But Mr Wright's move comes just days after defections to the DUP by two councillors, including Causeway Coast and Glens Councillor Aaron Callan.
