The Late Late Show
The candidates, party workers and journalists at the East Belfast must be tired... but spare a thought for the poor folks actually counting the ballots. Would you fancy having to work out the equations at this point? Thought not. Nah, neither would we.

The story so far
When counting starts again later this morning, there will be three seats still up for grabs. So far David Hilditch (DUP), Gordon Lyons (DUP) and Roy Beggs (UUP, pictured) are over the line.
Stewart Dickson (Alliance) and Alistair Ross (DUP) are expected to claim the fourth and fifth seats but then it is very tight between Oliver McMullan (Sinn Féin), Noel Jordan (UKIP) and John Stewart (UUP).

TUV's Jim Allister topped the poll and has been elected along with Mervyn Storey (pictured) and Paul Frew both DUP.
Three seats will be decided later today with Daithí McKay (Sinn Féin), Robin Swann (UUP) and Philip Logan (DUP) seemingly best placed.

The story so far
Counting was suspended on Friday - it'll resume this morning. Two MLAs have been elected so far - Maurice Bradley and George Robinson (pictured), both of the DUP.
Tomorrow there's four seats up for grabs with Cathal Ó hOisín, Caoimhe Archibald (both Sinn Féin), Adrian McQullan (DUP), Claire Sugden (Independent) and Gerry Mullan (SDLP) looking the most likely.
Fermanagh and South Tyronepublished at 03:04 British Summer Time 7 May 2016
The story so far
We had three MLAs confirmed on Friday - the DUP's Arlene Foster and Maurice Morrow, along with Sinn Féin's Michelle Gildernew.
The big casualty of the day, however, was Sinn Féin’s Phil Flanagan (pictured above), who was eliminated in the fourth round.
West Tyronepublished at 03:03 British Summer Time 7 May 2016
The story so far
Not too much of a story so far, no one's yet been elected. So expect the count staff to be busy later today.
DUP’s Thomas Buchanan topped the poll, followed by Sinn Féin’s Barry McElduff (both pictured above).
