Conor McGregor has announced his intention to run for president of Ireland, revealing his political ambitions on social media.
On Thursday, March 20, the UFC superstar declared that he wants to give the people of Ireland a genuine voice in shaping the nation’s future.
McGregor’s decision to run is primarily driven by his opposition to the proposed EU Migration Pact, an issue he previously addressed during his visit to the White House with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The next presidential election must take place by November 11, 2025,” McGregor stated. “Who else will stand up to the government and oppose this bill? Any other presidential candidate they put forward will offer no resistance. I will!”
Despite his strong opposition to the bill, McGregor emphasized that the decision should ultimately lie with the people, not the government.
“All citizens of Ireland deserve a voice and a choice in their future!” he said.
McGregor also expressed his openness to engaging in debates with officials supporting the bill, stating he would welcome the opportunity for discussion.
The former UFC champion has hinted at his political ambitions for some time. Last year, he declared, “Ireland needs an active president, fully employed by the people of Ireland. It is me. I am the only logical choice. 2025 is upcoming…”
On March 20, he called on Irish citizens to support his presidential bid, urging them, “Vote McGregor and have your voice heard!”
