Incumbent centre-right coalition likely to form next govt Vote counting in Ireland's general election began Saturday with an exit poll indicating a tight finish with the incumbent centre-right coalition most likely to form the next government. While the exit poll indicated that the leftist-nationalist Sinn Fein, the main opposition party, narrowly led with 21.1 percent of the vote, it was neck and neck with the centre-right Fine Gael whose leader is the outgoing prime minister Simon Harris.
