After resigning from her position as Democratic Unionist Party leader and first minister of Northern Ireland, a source close to Arlene Foster told BBC Northern Ireland that she intends to quit the party entirely after stepping down in June.
Previously, Foster said she would wait until June to disclose whether or not she would remain in the DUP, but it has now been confirmed that she believes it is a ‘different party’ to that which she first joined in 2005.
Earlier this week, 75% of Foster’s elected representatives signed a letter of no confidence following her recent decision to abstain from voting on a conversion therapy ban.
