DUBLIN — Prime Minister Simon Harris announced a snap election in Ireland for Friday, Nov. 29, in a bid to extend his Fine Gael party’s record 14-year run in power.
The 38-year-old Harris, who became Fine Gael leader and Ireland’s Taoiseach in April, launches the contest with his pro-business and socially progressive party topping the polls on 25 percent in a crowded field.
That lead, if maintained through the coming campaign, is widely forecast to produce a return of the current combination of Harris’ Fine Gael and its fellow center-ground rival, Fianna Fáil, led by Foreign Minister Micheál Martin. Together they have governed Ireland in a stable coalition since 2020 alongside a third partner, the environmentalist Green Party.
