Ireland's General Election Set for November 29

The election preparations for the Taraba State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) are underway, with the state chairman Rev. Dr. Isaiah Jirapye Magaji confirming that national officials will arrive for the election on November 7th. He expressed optimism for a peaceful election despite past challenges, including the divisive 2023 governorship election among Christian contenders. Meanwhile, in Ireland, Taoiseach Simon Harris is set to call a general election by the end of the week, with potential polling dates of November 29 or December 6, following the passage of the Finance Bill. Harris emphasized the importance of allowing time for an election campaign and government formation discussions over the Christmas period. The coalition leaders have agreed to hold the election this year, with final legislative hurdles being addressed before the Dáil is dissolved.
