A council candidate for Derry City and Strabane District Council will have her hands full after giving birth to a baby boy in the days before this year’s NI Council Elections.The Ulster University Law student is hoping to make it a double celebration this week by being elected on to her local council for the first time."I am delighted to announce the birth of baby Bennett in recent days, and I want to thank in particular the amazing Community Ante-natal Team in Strabane,” Leza said.
“The fact that I have given birth so close to the election will make for a great story for Bennett when he's older.” Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín congratulated Leza and said it was a great boost for her ahead of polling day.“With politics there is always a lot of negativity, especially so close to the finish line, but this brilliant news reaching us - of the birth of baby Bennett - has put a smile on all Aontú faces across the island, and given us all a fantastic boost of happiness.
“In congratulating Leza and her family, I want to pay tribute to her hard work in this campaign. Leza Houston is a working student, currently studying Law in Ulster University. “Leza’s passion for human rights motivated her to get involved in politics. She is particularly passionate about children’s rights and improving her community for children in this area. I hope to see her elected in a few days’ time."For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here and sign up to our daily newsletter here.
