Description

James Kilfedder arrives at Belfast Courthouse to lodge the papers for his candidacy in West Belfast. Kilfedder was the incumbent MP in this constituency. William McGookin questions him about the possible support of Ian Paisley and his group. 

Kilfedder would lose the seat to Republican Labour candidate Gerry Fitt. 

Notes

James Kilfedder was defeated in this election but would later represent North Down, first for the Ulster Unionists and later as leader of the Ulster Popular Unionist Party. All 12 MPs elected in 1964 also ran in the 1966 election and only Kilfedder was defeated.
