Irish Election Exit Polls Indicate Coalition Government Likely
TL;DR
In the Irish general election, Prime Minister Simon Harris's Fine Gael party is nearly tied with Sinn Fein, each securing around 21% of first-preference votes according to exit polls. This suggests that Harris's strategy to call an early election did not provide the anticipated advantage, with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael's coalition partner, receiving 19.5% of the votes. The exit poll has a margin of error of 1.4%.
