Alan Kelly says forming a government is 'up to other parties' after winning Labour leadership race

Dublin TD Ó Ríordáin conceded before the final result last night.

LAST UPDATE | 4 Apr 2020

TIPPERARY TD ALAN Kelly was elected the new leader of the Labour Party after he beat Dublin TD Aodhán Ó Ríordáin in the race with the result announced late last night.

This afternoon, the new Labour leader said it’s “up to other parties” to form a government with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil likely to need the support of another party to form a coalition.

The postal ballot poll for the Labour Party leadership closed yesterday.

Out of a ballot of 1,916, Kelly received 1,047 to Ó Ríordáin’s 868 votes. One vote was spoiled.

This translated to Kelly winning by 55% to 45%. 

Kelly said on Twitter that it was his “greatest honour” to be elected the 13th leader of the Labour party.

“I know that we will work together to bring our party forward,” he said. “Huge thanks to the members for putting their trust in me.”

In a follow-up statement this afternoon, Kelly said his party “will offer constructive support for the national effort” in the coming weeks and months.

“As leader I will of course continue to engage with all parties but when it comes to forming a government we have been very clear since the general election, that it is up to other parties to take their responsibilities seriously and it is up to them to form a stable government,” he said.

It seems that some parties are more interested in playing politics than solving the crisis the people of this country face.

Ó Ríordáin, who conceded via Twitter shortly before 10pm based on early tallies, congratulated Kelly on his imminent election and said “I know Labour’s values are safe in his hands”.

He also thanked outgoing leader Brendan Howlin and thanked his own campaigners and supporters. 

Due to the extraordinary circumstances arising from the public health measures in place to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, changes were made to the usual arrangements that would apply for a Labour leadership election count.

Only the appointed returning officer Conor Power SC was allowed to sort and count the ballots in a room in Mazars in Dublin.

A video link from the count room was made available to appointed observers and election agents of each candidate. When the count was completed the returning officer made the result announcement via a live Facebook video feed on the Labour Party page.

The leadership contest kicked off last month when Brendan Howlin announced he would resign as leader following the outcome of February’s General Election. 

Labour failed to capitalise in an election which saw voters move further to the left and put Sinn Féin out in front as the party with most support.

Howlin’s party secured just six seats with some of its more prominent parliamentary figures, including Joan Bruton and Jan O’Sullivan, losing their seats. 

Kelly’s leadership bid centred around rebuilding the party from the ground up and returning to the roots and core values of the party.

“When people work and pay their taxes, they deserve a be able to afford a home, equality across all education services, that if they are sick or a loved on is sick, that the state will look after them.”

Kelly made no secret about his ambitions to be leader of the party in the past, going so far as to putting a timeline on Howlin’s departure.

    In other words, he has done less than ten tweets of work on this issue. So why is he better than the last guy? Because he’s an Orange American instead of a black one?

    Fact check, the NSA has been around since the fifties. It operates independently of the Branches of Governemnt and reports to it’s own Director with *oversight* (as opposed to operational control) notionally provided by the legislature (Congress) and not the Executive (White House).

    Did Obama get automatic respect from Republicans because he was the President?

    What kind of headline is that? The Alternative Headline?
    Donald Trump engaged in a courteous 9 minute long interview from the White House then right at the end was questioned about the Obama surveillance scandal, Yes Scandal, remember Edward Snowden the ex-NSA contractor who revealed that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and its international partners had created a global system of surveillance that was responsible for the mass collection of information on American and foreign citizens, remember that Obama scandal?
    NO? Short memories obviously.
    Well, Donald saw through Dickerson’s pathetic attempt to smooth over the issue and portray the President in a bad light so he ended the interview.
    Proper order too.
    Well done Donald.

    *Explainer*
    Obviously this is why the author deliberately chose to omit a link to the full interview in the article as this would have seriously undermined this Alternative Version.

    If Trump is so horrified by this ongoing scandal why isnt he doing anything about it other than political point scoring??
    Because all he does is spoof and bluster. He will use the presidency to increase his profile and line his own pockets. If you cant see that you like many others are blinded by his rabble rousing populisim.

    And there are still people defending this complete and utter idiot. It would be funny to watch all of the people who thought he was anything other than an opportunistic twit being proven wrong except they are all being proven wrong to the great expense of everyone.

    @Dell: The people who defend Trump are generally low-brow individuals who harbour a resentment towards Liberals due to their envy of their superior intellect and Third-Level qualifications. Instead of paying for a shrink they vent in the commets section.

    @BannonsBarse: Have you ever considered they might not need a shrink. Whereas people who boast of their superior intellect and educational qualifications might do well to pay a visit to learn how to live in the real world.

    The claim of wire tapping and reporting back to WH stems from NYT article January 20th written by Goldman Appuzzo Schmidt and Rosenberg. Ask them where they got the story from.

    Total media bias in the line of questioning.

    Why didn’t they focus on all his achievements in office to date? His has been the most successful first 100 days of any president in history.

    They only had a couple of minutes. Focussing on Trumplethinskin’s achievements would take a miniseries.

    Malachi…i just had a look outside and yes the world is still bleeding turning! My point – the problem with Trump…Obama, Bush & Clinton is they told us what we wanted to here and Trump is saying what we all think but are afraid to say! Say what you want and stop worrying about what others think.
