The UFC star made the announcement on March 20, stating that he wants to ensure the people of Ireland have a real say in shaping the country’s future.
McGregor’s decision is largely driven by his opposition to the proposed EU Migration Pact, a topic he recently discussed during a visit to the White House with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The next presidential election must take place by 11 Nov 2025,” McGregor said.
“Who else will stand up to Government and oppose this bill? Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will!”
Despite his firm stance against the bill, Conor McGregor stressed that the final decision should be in the hands of the people, not the government.
“All citizens of Ireland to have a voice and a choice on their future!” he stated.
He also welcomed open discussions with officials who support the bill, saying he is ready for debate.
McGregor has hinted at his political ambitions before. Last year, he stated that Ireland needs an active president who works solely for the people, declaring himself as the best choice.
On March 20, he urged Irish citizens to support his campaign, calling on them to take action. “Vote McGregor and have your voice heard!”
