Stage 8: of the 2271 votes transferred to Poots from Calvert, 1517 (66.80%) went to Roche (UKUP); 191 to David Campbell and 156 to Davis, thus 347 (15.28%) to the UUP candidates; 161 (7.08%) to McMichael (UDP); and 4 (0.17%) to Lewsley (SDLP).
A very disappointing result for the UUP, not helped by the public row within the party over the leadership's bar on dissident MP Jeffrey Donaldson from running. The chief beneficiary of this was Paddy Roche of the UKUP, another of that party's unexpected gains. Gary McMichael of the UDP failed to make the breakthrough and finished as runner-up. Another unexpected winner was Patricia Lewsley of the SDLP.
