2020 Irish General Election: Final Results
DUP Secures Fifth Seat in Fermanagh and South Tyrone
After a tense and closely fought contest, the final results of the 2020 Irish general election are in. In the Northern Ireland constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, the Democratic Unionist Party's (DUP) Gregory Campbell has emerged victorious, securing the party's fifth seat in the region.
Counting Marathon Concludes
The election, held on February 8th, saw intense competition across Ireland's 18 constituencies. The counting process, which began shortly after polls closed, continued for several days, with the final result for Fermanagh and South Tyrone only being announced now.
Sinn Féin emerged as the overall winner in the first preference vote count, securing the most first preference votes across the country. However, it remains to be seen how this will translate into seat allocation as the final count, which includes transfers and preferences, is still ongoing.
Independent candidates have also performed well, securing a significant number of council seats. They are now poised to play a pivotal role in the formation of a new government, as neither Fine Gael nor Fianna Fáil has secured an outright majority.
The final results of the 2020 Irish general election will have a profound impact on the country's political landscape. The formation of a new government and the policies it implements will shape Ireland's future for years to come.
