Michael D. Humphreys is leading the race for the Áras with an aggressive, energetic campaign. The presidential contest has not ignited into a full-blown campaign but has begun to smoulder, showing growing underlying momentum. Fine Gael adjusted its approach after previously nominating Mairead McGuinness, who has withdrawn because of urgent health reasons. Candidate positioning and party manoeuvring intensified as other hopefuls reacted to shifting dynamics. Media and campaign channels are circulating updates and calls to stay informed. Voter interest appears cautious but responsive to developments and candidate withdrawals.
