Likud Primary: Netanyahu Allies Lead

The preliminary election results for the Likud Party held yesterday, after counting 90% of the votes, showed Minister Eli Cohen winning first place on the Knesset list, followed by Amir Ohana, Yariv Levin, Miri Regev, and Ofer Kats. However, some candidates such as Nir Barkat, Ze'ev Elkin, and Gila Gamliel are expected to lose their seats in the Knesset due to the placement of certain candidates by Netanyahu on the lists without votes, especially Yisrael Katz and Gidon Sa'ar. Polls forecast that Likud will win 22 seats in the October 27 elections. The election results confirmed a voter turnout of 53.5%. Netanyahu expressed full satisfaction with the preliminary results, praising the renewal of strength within the party list and the support from his close associates, emphasizing that the new list will lead to a big victory and the formation of a broad government. He warned against forming a left-wing government that includes Arab parties and other factions.
