Eli Cohen Leads Likud Candidates
The final results of the Likud elections showed Energy Minister Eli Cohen leading the list, surpassing prominent officials like Amir Ohana and Yariv Levin. Expectations regarding the number of seats the party will win in the upcoming Knesset have declined, with estimates of approximately 22 to 24 seats compared to the current 32. About 53.5% of party members participated in the election, a slight decrease from 2022 when turnout was 58%. Netanyahu himself granted himself the right to choose 8 candidates within the top 30 seats, aiming to limit the influence of influential figures within the party—especially those who could facilitate the rise of local rivals—while working to strengthen his control over the electoral arrangements.
