TL;DR

Simon Harris, the 37-year-old further and higher education minister, has been elected as the leader of Ireland's Fine Gael party, making him the country's youngest-ever premier. He is set to replace Leo Varadkar, who announced his resignation last week. Harris is expected to be formally elected as premier in April and has expressed commitment to the current government's program. Varadkar, known for his role in legalizing same-sex marriage and repealing the ban on abortion, served as Ireland's youngest-ever leader and the first openly gay prime minister.
