Rodney Connor (born 25 March 1951[1]) is a retired Chief Executive of Fermanagh District Council in Northern Ireland and was a candidate for political office.
In 2005 Connor was allegedly inappropriately appointed by unionist councillors voting along party lines, leading to concerns about unlawful discrimination.
[3] Connor stood as the Unionist "Unity" candidate for the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in Fermanagh and South Tyrone in the 2010 Westminster election.
Ulster Unionist MLA for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Tom Elliott, said he was withdrawing his candidacy because he believed Connor was the ideal choice.
[4] He lost to the incumbent, Sinn Féin's Michelle Gildernew by four votes,[4] having unsuccessfully challenged the result in the Election Court.
