John Colin Hussey (born March 1988) is a Northern Irish barrister and former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politician who was High Sheriff of Belfast from 2022 to 2023, as well as a Belfast City councillor from 2011 to 2023, latterly for the Ormiston DEA.[2][3][4]
Background
Hussey was first elected to Belfast City Council at the 2011 local elections, being the last candidate returned for the Victoria District.[5]
At the 2014 local elections, he was re-elected, this time for the successor Ormiston District.[6]
In May 2016, Hussey was tipped to be one of the DUP candidates for role of Lord Mayor of Belfast. Ultimately, the position went to Brian Kingston.[7][8][9]
He retained his seat at the 2019 election, being re-elected on the eighth count.[10][11]
High Sheriff of Belfast
In January 2022, Hussey was appointed High Sheriff of Belfast.[12] As part of his role, he did a re-reading of the Accession Proclamation, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth.[13][14][15]
