DUP’s Mark Baxter elected Mayor
DUP Councillor Mark Baxter has been elected Mayor of Craigavon Borough Council with Ulster Unionist Colin McCusker as his deputy.
This is the fourth DUP mayor and 10th unionist mayor in a row.
Nationalist and republican councillors described the election as a ‘sectarian carve-up’ and said there was ‘no shared space in Craigavon Council chamber’.
