Jim Kilfedder canvassing in west Belfast. This was for the 1964 General Election and he would go on to win the seat for the Unionist Party at his first time of standing for election. 

Unionist majority: 6,659; electorate: 69,399; votes cast: 74.7% 

The most interesting incident of the election involved an aspiring political activist by the name of Ian Paisley, who threatened to lead his supporters to remove a tricolour on display at Republican headquarters on Divis Street, if the authorities failed to act first. The RUC moved in and removed the flag and clashed with local residents. Several days later, when the flag was replaced, the RUC once again returned to remove it, this time however their actions triggered some of the most intense rioting the city had seen since 1935 and gained widespread media attention.
