Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party is looking for a new leader following the announcement Wednesday, April 28, 2021 by First Minister Arlene Foster that she will be standing down after nearly five and a half years in post. Following weeks of pressure related to her handling of Brexit and her perceived softening on social issues such as abortion and LGBT rights, Foster said she would step down as leader of the party on May 28 and as first minister at the end of June. Potential candidates include Jeffrey Donaldson, Edwin Poots, Gavin Robinson, Sammy Wilson and Ian Paisley Jr. (AP Photo/Peter Morrison, File)
