The Democrats party of former chief of staff Yair Golan announced it has surpassed 75,000 members, calling it a record for a party its age in over 25 years. The primary for the Knesset slate is set for July 20, according to the party's statement cited by N12's Amit Segal.
The Democrats party — Yair Golan's newly formed political vehicle that united parts of the Israeli center-left and left — announced it has crossed 75,000 registered members ahead of its July 20 primary. The party described this as the highest membership number for any party at a similar stage in over 25 years. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (June 17), the party had set the primary date subject to Central Elections Committee approval. The internal race now enters a more competitive stage, with more than 50 candidates expected to seek slots on the Knesset slate for the upcoming election.
