Conor McGregor is diving headfirst into the political arena, declaring on social media that he is officially running for president in Ireland. His announcement has generated significant buzz, attracting attention from fans and political analysts alike.

On Thursday, the UFC superstar elaborated on his motivations for entering the presidential race. He expressed a strong desire to provide the citizens of his nation with a legitimate platform to voice their aspirations and concerns regarding the future of Ireland.

One of the major challenges he highlighted is the proposed EU Migration Pact, which comes as no surprise given that McGregor recently met with President Donald Trump at the White House to voice his concerns about this immigration policy.

McGregor stated, “The next presidential election must occur by November 11, 2025. Who else will stand up to the Government and oppose this bill?” His statement reflects his determination to be a force for change in Irish politics.

“Any other presidential candidate they try to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will!” McGregor passionately declared, emphasizing his commitment to being a strong opposition voice.

Despite his passionate opposition to the bill, McGregor made it clear that he would leave the decision in the hands of the people, asserting that it is the citizens who should have the authority, not the government.

“All citizens of Ireland deserve a voice and a choice regarding their future!” McGregor stated emphatically, emphasizing his inclusive vision for the country.

McGregor expressed his eagerness to hear from officials who support the bill, indicating that he welcomes a debate on the issues at hand, showcasing his willingness to engage in dialogue.

Perhaps inspired by his recent trip to Washington, D.C., McGregor has been vocal about his political aspirations for some time. He previously stated, “Ireland needs an active President who is fully accountable to the people. It’s me. I’m the only logical choice. 2025 is approaching fast…”

During his announcement on Thursday, he urged his fellow Irish citizens to do what he believes is the right thing for their future, appealing to their sense of civic responsibility.
