Naomi Long is seeking to retake the Westminster seat she lost to the DUP's Gavin Robinson in 2015 in one of the key battlegrounds of the December 12 poll. The Alliance leader served as MP for the constituency from 2010-2015. She returned to Stormont as an MLA in 2016 before being elected as MEP for Northern Ireland earlier this year, as a result of what was dubbed the Alliance surge. She is a former Lord Mayor of Belfast.
