Ireland Government Overhaul Live: Simon Harris Set to Become Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister

Simon Harris will formally be appointed as the Prime Minister of Ireland. This comes after his predecessor, Leo Varadkar made a shocking and rather abrupt exit from the office, citing "personal" and "political" reasons. Notably, Harris is set to become Ireland's youngest-ever Prime Minister or "Taoiseach" as they call the Head of State, beating Varadkar who was elected at age 38. 37-Year-Old Simon Harris has been chosen for the role in the Irish parliament by the centre-right Fine Gael party, following an uncontested election after Varadkar's exit. Harris has promised to steer the country back towards its core values, that include business, farming, law and order. Last month, Varadkar, Ireland's first-ever gay Prime Minister, made his exit as one of Europe's youngest sitting Prime Ministers. Watch Firstpost's live coverage to know more.
