Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill said she intended to serve as a “first minister for all” in Northern Ireland.
She said: “I accept this election represents a very significant moment of change. It really is a defining moment for our politics and for all of our people.
“It also presents us with an opportunity, an opportunity to reimagine the relationships in the society on the basis of fairness and equality and the basis of social justice.
“As a first minister for all, I intend to work with those from different political perspectives through partnership and not division.
“I will provide leadership which is inclusive, which celebrates diversity, which guarantees rights and equality for those who have been excluded, discriminated against and ignored in the past.
“What we want is for this Assembly, this Executive, to adopt a culture of civility, of mature politics and a focus on our shared priorities.”
