左翼独立候选人凯瑟琳·康诺利当选为爱尔兰第十任总统，以63%的选票对阵中右翼对手希瑟·汉弗莱斯，取得压倒性胜利。
现年68岁的康诺利自2016年以来一直担任戈尔韦西选区的独立议员，并于2020年成为首位担任爱尔兰议会副议长的女性。
康诺利在戈尔韦长大，成长于一个大家庭，她的早期经历塑造了她对社会问题的关注。她拥有临床心理学和法律学位，进入政界前曾是一名律师。
在政治生涯中，康诺利一直直言不讳地批评欧盟政策，并强烈支持巴勒斯坦权利。她还强调维护爱尔兰军事中立的重要性。
在都柏林城堡的就职演讲中，康诺利承诺将成为“一位包容性的总统”，倡导多样性，并作为“和平的声音”。
尽管爱尔兰总统的角色主要是礼仪性质，但康诺利的当选被视为重大转变，反映了选民渴望一位勇于挑战现状的领导人。她将接替已任满两届的迈克尔·D·希金斯。
