Simon Harris, who dropped out of university to become a parliamentary assistant, is poised to become Ireland's youngest head of government at 37. His swift rise in politics reflects ambition and experience despite his youth.
As the new leader of Fine Gael, Simon Harris faces the task of reviving the party's fortunes amidst challenges like a cost of living crisis and housing shortage, with competition from parties like Sinn Fein.
Mr. Harris's elevation to the top political position in Ireland is due to the unexpected resignation of his predecessor, Leo Varadkar. He will lead a coalition government, rather than being directly endorsed by the public.
