Next Indian Elections

Voters in Ireland have expressed dissatisfaction with the taoiseach, Simon Harris, despite a return of the current government being the most probable outcome of the election, according to an exit poll.

Of those 5,000 voters surveyed after they placed their vote, 35% named Fianna Fáil’s leader, Micheál Martin, as their preferred new leader of the 34th Dáil.

But solidifying Sinn Féin’s place in the Irish political landscape and reflecting the popularity of its current leader, 34% said they wanted its president, Mary Lou McDonald, to lead the country – far ahead of Harris, the leader of Fine Gael, who came third in the exit poll with 27%.
