Conor McGregor expressed his wish to become the President of Ireland

Back in March this year, Conor McGregor took to his Instagram handle to announce that he was running for the President of Ireland. He added a photo to the post, where he was spotted holding a child, and there was an aircraft in the background. McGregor also wore a green baseball cap, featuring the words

“Make Ireland Great Again.”

In the caption, Conor McGregor started by writing that the EU Migration Pact should be implemented by June 12, 2026, and other legislations should be passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas.

McGregor mentioned that every legislation should be signed by the President and added:

“The next presidential election must take place by 11 Nov 2025. Who else will stand up to the Government and oppose this bill? Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will! For clarity also, as President, I would put forth this bill to referendum.”

Conor McGregor mentioned that he wants to see the government agree to the EU Migration Pact, adding that the implementation of the same is a choice of the residents of Ireland.

He ended by writing:

“I would love to hear the debates! Followed then by vote! This is the future of Ireland with me as President. All citizens of Ireland to have a voice and a choice on their future. God bless our people! Vote McGregor and have your voice heard!”

The MMA fighter shared the post a few days after he met Donald Trump. According to BBC News, Conor McGregor met Trump at the White House on the occasion of St Patrick’s Day on March 17, 2025. McGregor also participated in the inauguration ceremony of the President of the United States, held in January this year.
