Malachi Curran is a politician in Northern Ireland. Curran was elected to Down District Council in 1993 for the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP).〔(Down District Council Elections 1993-2011 ), ARK〕 He resigned from the SDLP to stand as a Labour coalition candidate for the Northern Ireland Forum in 1996. Although the group did not win any constituency seats, it was awarded two top-up seats, which went to Hugh Casey and Curran. Shortly after the elections to the Forum, the Coalition dissolved. Curran was recognised as leader of the Labour group in the Forum.〔(House of Commons, 6 December 1996 )〕 With seven other leaders of Forum groupings that had supported the Good Friday Agreement, he won a Harriman Democracy Prize in 1998.〔(Past Harriman recipients ), National Democratic Institute〕 Curran then formed the Labour Party of Northern Ireland. Under this label, he failed to take a seat standing in South Down at the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 1998, winning only 1% of the first preference votes.〔(Elections: South Down ), ARK〕 Curran stood as an independent at the 2003 elections to the Assembly, but saw his vote drop to 0.4%.〔 At the 2007 election, he placed bottom in South Down, taking just 123 votes.〔(Northern Ireland election ), BBC News, 9 March 2007〕 ==References== Belfast Gazette 16 August 1996: "Mr. Malachi Curran is the nominating representative for Labour in place of Cllr.
