Democrats party MK Efrat Rayten launched her primary campaign Tuesday, declaring she will demand the Justice Ministry portfolio in the next Knesset, according to N12. The statement signals the party's internal race intensifying ahead of coalition negotiations.
MK Efrat Rayten, chair of the Democrats faction, launched her primary campaign Tuesday afternoon with a pledge to demand the Justice Ministry portfolio in the next Knesset, according to N12. The announcement adds a new dimension to the party's internal race, as several candidates have declared bids in recent days — including former MK Emily Moatti and reserve major Yaya Pink, as The Zioneer previously reported. Rayten's focus on a senior ministry aligns with the party's coalition strategy: MK Naama Lazimi has already staked a claim to the Education Ministry, and the party's leadership has signaled it will demand significant portfolios as a condition for entering the next government. It remains unclear whether Rayten's bid for the justice post reflects a broader factional agenda or a personal campaign goal.
