Upper bann

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

In the third of our constituency profiles, BBC Newsline takes a look at the issues in Upper Bann.

This constituency still has a lot of segregation, especially in the towns of Portadown and Lurgan.

The sitting MP is David Simpson of the DUP.

It has 76,496 voters.

The town of Portadown became infamous for the Drumcree standoff, while Craigavon at one stage had the largest factory in Europe.

The author of the hymn "What a friend we have in Jesus" also came from this constituency.
