Rumours are rife this morning that the Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny is going to resign his position.
Fine Gael are currently looking at returning 26% of seats – far less than they need for an overall majority or even a decent position to form a new government.
Fianna Fail have over-performed to a degree and are looking at returning 22% of seats. Meanwhile Labour are going to practically disappear with 7% of seats looking an absolute maximum.
Rumours are circulating in the Fine Gael ranks this morning that Kenny is about to resign his leadership after a terribly poor campaign and basically bad result for Fine Gael.
A number of average election debates from Kenny made no difference to Fine Gael’s polling percentage. As a result of today, many Fine Gael supporters are saying Kenny has already said he is going to resign.
