Sinn Féin is still favourite to become the largest party, though it's unlikely to gain any seats. The DUP is still vying for the top spot as well, but could be on track to lose votes to other unionist parties, the UUP and TUV. danieltmurray reports.

Counting is underway in the Northern Ireland Assembly elections with Sinn Féin on course to take the largest number of seats at Stormont.
