    Final seat 'crucial'

    Elections expert Nicholas Whyte predicts that based on current results, the make-up of a new Executive would be three DUP ministers; two Sinn Féin; one UUP and a final seat.

    It all depends on the count in west Belfast between Alex Attwood, SDLP and the DUP's Frank McCoubrey. 

    It could make the difference as to whether there is going to be two or three nationalist ministers.

    'Still a young man...'

    Was it your bad boy image, BBC presenter Mark Carruthers asks Sinn Féin's Phil Flanagan who has been eliminated.

    Phil Flanagan

    He said there was "an unhealthy interest" on what he said on Twitter. 

    "When you're standing four seats in a very competitive election, somebody was going to lose out. I'm not bitter that it’s me that has missed out. Personally I'm disappointed," he said.

    "But I'm still a young man."
