Mary Lou McDonald Refuses to Rule Herself Out of Presidential Election
- Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald did not confirm whether she would be a candidate in the upcoming Irish presidential election during a statement in Dublin on Monday morning.
- Following her March announcement that she would not run, Mary Lou McDonald has now left open the possibility of a presidential bid, as President Michael D Higgins prepares to complete nearly 14 years in office this November, with the election expected to take place by October.
- McDonald said Sinn Féin is consulting party members and discussing a potential joint candidate with other parties across the left and opposition, but clarity is still lacking.
- She indicated that no options have been confirmed or dismissed yet and anticipates having a more definitive understanding of the plans by late July or early August.
- On July 8, Fine Gael commenced accepting nominations from candidates aiming to secure party endorsement for the upcoming election, with specific criteria set for support and a deadline of July 15 for submissions.
