Dr Alasdair McDonnell the SDLP Mp for South Belfast has written a letter to ask the party branch chairs to nominate him in any future leadership election election. He will need the nomination of at least 5 SDLP Branches. Dr McDonnell's letter is further evidence of his growing interest in the post. Dr McDonnell contested the leadership in 2010, but was narrowly defeated by Margaret Ritchie. Just under 350 people will be entitled to vote in any leadership election at the parties conference in November.
