Newcomer Martin Scanlon is overjoyed with his performance in the Lifford-Stranorlar area, finishing out in front in the tally.
The Glenfin man entered politics with a will to represent ‘neglected rural Ireland’ and tackle rural population decline.
He believes that simple message connected with the masses who may be disappointed with the status quo.
“I want to thank the people of the Finn Valley for coming out and supporting me,” Scanlon tells Donegal Daily at the sorting centre tonight.
“We picked votes all around, not just Glenfin and Ballybofey, all over the municipal area, it’s amazing.”
