Northern Ireland: Anti-Israel party wins top spot in elections

The Sinn Fein party in Northern Ireland on Friday won the top spot in the elections in the British-controlled territory, Reuters reports.

According to the report, Sinn Fein secured 29% of the first-preference vote compared with 21.3% by the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), indicating it was likely to become the first Irish nationalist party to win the most seats in an election to the regional assembly since the state's creation in 1921.
