Martin Kenny and former MEP Chris McManus will represent Sinn Fein in the general election in Sligo-Leitrim.
They were chosen at a selection convention in the Sligo Park Hotel last night.
McManus beat Councillor Thomas Healy in a vote for the Sligo nomination, while Kenny was selected unopposed as the Leitrim candidate.
