Robert Campbell (UK politician)

Robert Victor Campbell was a unionist politician in Northern Ireland.

Campbell was an Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) alderman in North Down, and on 23 November 1972, he was made a freeman of the Borough of North Down - only the sixth person to receive the title.[1] At the Northern Ireland local elections, 1973, he was elected to the reconstituted North Down Borough Council, topping the poll in North Down C,[2] and he was also elected at the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 1973 in North Down.[3]

Campbell subsequently resigned from the UUP and joined the Unionist Party of Northern Ireland. He stood again in North Down for the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention, but was not elected,[3] and did not contest his council seat in 1977.[2]
