Charles McCullough, sometimes known as Charlie McCullough, (18 December 1923 – 4 October 2014)[1] was a Northern Irish unionist politician, native of Belfast.
Cullough secured re-election under his new party colours and, by 1965, he was the chair of its Improvement Committee. He resigned from this following a dispute over the naming of the Queen Elizabeth Bridge; he had instead hoped it would be named for Edward Carson, and believed that this name had been rejected due to party indiscipline.[7]
In 1968, McCullough was elected to the Senate of Northern Ireland.[8] He resigned from the UUP in September 1970,[9] and became a founder member of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) the following year.[10] The Senate ceased to meet in 1972,[8] and, although McCullough remained a supporter of the DUP, he did not stand in any further elections. On 4 October 2014, he died at the age of 90.[11]
