**Conor McGregor Announces Presidential Bid Outside Irish Government Buildings**
Dublin, Ireland – September 4, 2025: Former UFC champion Conor McGregor made a bold statement this morning outside Government Buildings in Dublin, declaring his intent to run for President of Ireland in the upcoming 2025 election. In a video posted to his X account, McGregor called for “real change” and urged Irish citizens to support his candidacy by contacting local county councillors to secure his nomination.
“Citizens of Ireland, the time for real change is now!” McGregor stated in the video, standing on Merrion Street. “As President, I will not sign any bill into law until it goes back to the people first!” The 36-yr -old Dubliner emphasised his commitment to representing the Irish people, positioning himself as a voice for those disillusioned with the current government.
McGregor’s announcement follows months of political rhetoric, including a St. Patrick’s Day visit to the White House, which definitely had the green eyed monster out from Irish party leaders. Despite this, McGregor remains steadfast, leveraging his global fame to rally support for his presidential campaign.
The video, captioned with a call to action for his followers, has sparked widespread discussion online, with supporters weighing in on his potential candidacy that it would shake things up.
