Description

At Belfast City Hall, Ulster Unionist Jim Kilfedder celebrates his general election win for the West Belfast seat. We also see him at home celebrating with his mother. Clerks and Returning Officers announce the seats for Mid-Ulster, North Antrim and East Belfast in the 1964 general election. We see the celebrations and William McGookin interviews Jim Kilfedder after his win and on the Divis Streets riots. 

James Kilfedder would hold the seat for only two years but would go on to be the North Down MP until his death in 1995. 

In the 1964 election, Unionists won all 12 seats.
