Fianna Fáil confronts a leadership dilemma over Micheál Martin’s role and potential candidacy amid tensions involving former taoiseach Bertie Ahern. A Fianna Fáil TD said: "They want to see him stand, or they want to see him stand out of the way of Bertie." The remark was described as summing up a consensus across all levels of the party. Party figures express competing preferences that either demand Martin to stand or to make room for Bertie. The internal pressure may compel Martin to run himself to resolve uncertainty about the party’s leadership direction.
