Ursula von der Leyen has been re-elected as European Commission President.

She received the backing of 401 members of the European Parliament, comfortably meeting the threshold.

That’s despite the majority of Irish MEPs opting to vote against her, with many opposed to her position on Gaza.

It’s her second term in the role, having led the Commission for the last five years.
