Following the close results in the district vote, several Likud branches are filing appeals, according to journalist Daphna Lial (N12). The appeals challenge the outcome of the internal party vote in the districts.
The appeals, reported by N12's Daphna Lial, come after the release of tight results in the Likud internal elections for the party's Knesset list. The district clause, which allocates seats based on geographic branches, has produced narrow margins, prompting several branches to formally challenge the count. The appeals will be reviewed by the party's internal institutions, which may order recounts or adjustments. The Likud primary process has been closely contested, and these developments could affect the final composition of the party's list for the next Knesset.
