The board of the UFU has sought agreement from its executive committee that the existing presidential team stays in post for another three months.
With all internal meetings suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible to hold the UFU AGM as planned at the end of April. At that meeting, current UFU president Ivor Ferguson was to step down after two years in post, to be replaced by his deputy, Victor Chestnutt.
With the other deputy president David Brown remaining in a deputy post for another two years, that left two members running for election as a new deputy president – Markethill dairy farmer William Irvine and Dungiven hill farmer Ian Buchanan.
