Heather Humphreys will be Fine Gael's candidate for the presidential election after a significant surge of endorsements. Deputy leader Helen McEntee is among senior party figures offering backing. The blitz of endorsements made it virtually impossible for MEP Seán Kelly to secure the nomination. Senior figures expressed relief that a contested selection involving hustings and debates around the country could be avoided. The early consolidation of support allows the party to deploy a campaign plan sooner rather than later and to focus resources on national campaigning instead of an internal contest.
