DUP members in Arlene Foster’s constituency have expressed their 'disgust' at the way she was ousted as party leader.
The Fermanagh and South Tyrone DUP association last night said it was standing behind their MLA, adding: "This was not done in our name."
It comes ahead of Mrs. Foster's departure as DUP leader and First Minister.

In a statement they said: “Arlene has worked tirelessly over the years not just for Fermanagh and South Tyrone but right across Northern Ireland - helping all constituencies.
“Our Association is sending out a strong message to Arlene Foster. This was not done in our name.”
The group has also said it gave unanimous backing to Mrs Foster to remain as the MLA for the area.
But the statement added: “We recognise this is a personal decision.
“We appreciate that Arlene has sacrificed so much personally over the years for public service, but this Association will stand firm by her side.”
