Michelle Guy is an Alliance Party politician who has been a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Lagan Valley since July 2024,[1] [2] as well as a member of the Alliance Party Executive, currently serving as Chair.[3]
Guy was elected to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council in 2019, representing the Castlereagh South District.[4] During her term, she served as Deputy Mayor in 2022.
At the 2024 general election, she contested the Strangford constituency, where she finished second against Jim Shannon of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), receiving 10,428 votes (26.8%).[5]
However, following Sorcha Eastwood's election as Lagan Valley's MP, Guy applied for the now-vacant MLA seat in the Lagan Valley constituency. On July 10th, the party announced her as the new MLA.[6]
Guy's first attendance to the chamber was in supporting the Opposition to Racism motion following 'far-right' rioting in Belfast in August 2024.[7] [8]
