Irish Election Set for November 29

Ireland is set to hold a general election on November 29, as announced by Prime Minister Simon Harris, who will seek the dissolution of parliament to start the campaign. This decision ends weeks of speculation regarding the election date, with Harris emphasizing the need for an 'amicable end' to the current government and highlighting priorities like passing the finance bill and addressing housing targets. Deputy Prime Minister Micheál Martin confirmed the impending announcement, following last month's budget giveaway. Meanwhile, in New Delhi, the delayed mayoral election for the Municipal Corporation is scheduled for November 14. The election has been postponed since April, with incumbent Mayor Shelly Oberoi finally giving the nod for a special meeting. The delay has sparked political tensions, with accusations from BJP against AAP regarding the representation of the Dalit community.
