The Executive of the 6th Northern Ireland Assembly is currently non-existent. Following the 2 March 2017 elections to the sixth Northern Ireland Assembly, the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin remained the two largest parties in the Assembly. Parties in Northern Ireland that were eligible to join the Northern Ireland Executive were given a deadline of 27 March 2017 to form an Executive. The deadline passed and Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire passed an emergency law at Westminster to allow more time for talks to take place. Brokenshire threatened direct rule if no agreement was reached by early May 2017. This deadline was later extended to 29 June after Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to call a snap election for 8 June 2017. On 29 June 2017, the DUP and Sinn Féin had both announced that they had not come to an agreement to form the next Northern Ireland Executive. Brokenshire extended the deadline until 3 July 2017 for further talks to continue. Abortive talks continued intermittently through 20017, 2018 and 2019 but were overshadowed by the UK Brexit Withdrawal Agreement and the DUP role in supporting the British Governmment. Intensive talks resumed in December 2019 following the 2019 UK General Election with a new deadline of 13th Jan 2019 for fresh assembly elections set by Secretary of State Julian Smith. An agreement was published by the two governments on 9th January 2020 and it was accepted by the leading parties.
