1969 Ulster Unionist Party leadership election
http://dbpedia.org/resource/1969_Ulster_Unionist_Party_leadership_election an entity of type: Thing
The 1969 Ulster Unionist Party leadership election was the first contested election in the Party's sixty-four year history. In 1963, Terence O'Neill had succeeded Lord Brookeborough as Party Leader and Prime Minister of Northern Ireland by emerging rather than by winning a ballot, despite having strong competition from both Brian Faulkner and Jack Andrews. On O'Neill's resignation following the inconclusive result of the 1969 general election, the division of support within the Parliamentary Group was such that an election was required to choose the new leader.
