Conor McGregor announced that he plans to run for president in Ireland. The athlete urged citizens to contact local deputies with a request to support his nomination and promised that no law would be signed without prior consideration by the people. The athlete himself announced this on his Instagram page, UNN writes.
Citizens of Ireland, the time for real change is now. As president, I will not sign any bill until it is first put to the people! If you want to see my name on the ballot for president, I urge you to contact your local deputies in your constituency today and ask them to nominate me
The boxer emphasized that deputies are the foundation of communities and do more for people than Oireachtas (Irish parliament - ed.) deputies.
If you are a deputy who feels that your voice is ignored, your hands are tied, and your community is overlooked, then I ask you to support me. Nominate me, and I will give you the platform and power to truly be heard. If you want to vote for McGregor, start now. Call your local deputy and demand change
