Centre-Right Parties Lead as Ireland Faces Coalition Government

In Ireland's general election, the centrist government parties, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, are set to retain power, defying global election trends. Fianna Fáil's Michéal Martin is the frontrunner for taoiseach, with his party winning the most first preference votes. Sinn Féin, which had hoped to become the largest party, came third. The two main parties are expected to form a coalition with smaller center-left parties. Meanwhile, controversial independent candidate Gerry Hutch lost his bid for a seat in Dublin Central.

Ireland's Election: Exit Polls Indicate Tight Three-Way Race

Counting has begun in the Irish general election, with exit polls indicating a tight race among Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, and Fianna Fáil. Sinn Féin leads slightly in first preference votes, but forming a government remains uncertain. The election sees a record 174 seats up for grabs, with the counting process expected to take several days. The current coalition partners, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, may have enough seats to return to power, while Sinn Féin seeks a path to government despite being ruled out as a coalition partner by the other major parties.

Tight Three-Way Race in Ireland's 2024 Election Amid Key Issues

An exit poll from the Irish general election indicates a tight race among Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, and Fianna Fáil, with first preference votes at 21.1%, 21%, and 19.5% respectively. The poll, conducted by Ipsos B&A, suggests a close contest similar to the 2020 election, with no party likely to secure an outright majority. Official vote counting begins Saturday, with results expected over the weekend. The outcome could see Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil potentially forming a government with smaller parties, while Sinn Féin's path to power remains challenging.
