Fine Gael leadership election, 2002

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2002 Fine Gael leadership election began in May 2002, when Michael Noonan resigned as party leader due to the party's poor performance in the 2002 general election. Noonan had only been party leader for little over fifteen months. His successor was elected by the members of the Fine Gael parliamentary party on June 5, 2002. After one ballot the election was won by Enda Kenny.
