How did MicheƔl Martin become taoiseach?

After an inconclusive 2020 general election and four months of negotiations, three political parties agreed to form a coalition government. The agreement called for Fianna FĆ”il, MicheĆ”l Martin’s party, to lead the government until halfway through a five-year term, at which point another party would take over. As leader of Fianna FĆ”il, Martin assumed the role of taoiseach on June 27, 2020.
