The DUP had called for a pro-union unity candidate in the constituency, a proposal which the UUP had rejected.
DUP leader Gavin Robinson has said the party is endorsing the UUP’s candidate Diana Armstrong in the Fermanagh-South Tyrone constituency.
Mr Robinson said that he met with Mr Beattie, TUV leader Jim Allister and independent unionist MLA Alex Easton on Tuesday. “In North Down we will not field a Democratic Unionist and we endorse Alex Easton, who is in our view a candidate with a strong and dedicated zeal for North Down, and who has a track record of being best placed to unite pro-union voters in the cause of winning in North Down.
