Overview
A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.
As voting concludes in Ireland's election, an exit poll indicates a tight race among Sinn Féin at 21.1%, Fine Gael at 21%, and Fianna Fáil at 19.5%. With coalition negotiations anticipated, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil express intentions to form a government without Sinn Féin, which poses challenges for the latter's aspirations to lead a leftist coalition. Counting starts on Saturday, key leaders suggest the final picture will only emerge once all results are available amid a historically competitive political climate.
