Foster says she will stand aside as DUP leader on 28 May and as first minister a month later
Arlene Foster has announced she is to step down as leader of the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) and Northern Ireland’s first minister.
She issued a statement on Wednesday, a day after a lightning revolt by Stormont assembly colleagues and the party’s Westminster MPs, who fear a voter backlash over the post-Brexit Irish Sea border.
