Ireland's governing Fine Gael party elected leo varadkar as its new leader on friday,choosing the gay,38-year-old son of an immigrant to succeed Enda Kenny as prime minister in a striking sign of the country's rapid social change.
Varadkar overcame ministrial colleague simon coveney as expected,winning an overwhelming majority among the centre-right party's lawmakers,who hope the straight talking Dubliner can lead them to third successive term for the first time.
his election makes another chapter in the social change that has swept through the country of 4.6 million people that only decriminalised homosexuality in 1993 but became the first country to adopt gay marriage via popular vote in 2015.
