The star Irish mixed martial arts fighter, former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor announced his intention to take part in the upcoming elections for the post of President of Ireland in 2025.
"As President, I will have the power to summon and dissolve the Government and Parliament. As I have said before, I will get the answers that the people of Ireland are looking for from these thieves, destroyers of family ties, destroyers of small businesses - the list of definitions could go on and on.
These charlatans in power will be called upon to give answers to the people of Ireland and I would do so by the end of my first day in office. Or I would have no choice but to dissolve the government and Parliament.
The people of Ireland deserve the answers they are looking for and that would be in my power as President. I know full well that Ireland needs an active President who serves the people and does their will. I am the only logical choice. 2025 is coming," McGregor wrote in X.
