Rishi Sunak has arrived in Northern Ireland for the latest leg of his election campaign tour.
He is due to attend an event in Belfast this morning.
Mr Sunak has announced a snap general election for July 4.
He is doing a whistle-stop tour of all four UK nations. Yesterday he was in England, Wales and Scotland.
Rishi Sunak is expected to discuss maritime transport on his visit, before returning to England and completing his two-day tour with a final campaign stop in the Midlands.
Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will be in Scotland to launch a campaign there with high hopes of making inroads into the SNP's domination on July 4.
Appearing alongside Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, Sir Keir will argue that the General Election offers a chance to "finally turn the page on 14 years of Tory government and the failed SNP and to chart a new course for the country".
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey will be on England's south coast, once again targeting Tory-held areas.
He will highlight a pledge for patients to be given a right to see a GP within seven days, with 8,000 more family doctors recruited to meet the pledge which would be enshrined in England's NHS Constitution.
