In Mid-Ulster it was no surprise as Francie Molloy retained his seat.
The absence of a unionist vote would have been futile anyway as the Sinn Fein vote was so strong.
The turnout was 68.59 per cent.
Mr Molloy polled 25,455 - almost 6,000 more than in the previous General Election.
His nearest rival was the DUP's Keith Buchanan who doubled the party's vote to 12,565.
The Ulster Unionist Party had a weak showing as Mark Glasgow only managed 3,017.
Malachy Quinn of the SDLP polled 4,563 while Alliance's Fay Watson achieved 1,094.
There seemed to be a serious case of unionist apathy in the area. Coupled with unfavourable weather conditions, many may have chosen to stay at home.
