A Likud source told journalist Bini Ashkenazi that the party's primary elections have been postponed from August 17 to August 30, according to a report Thursday evening. The reason for the delay was not stated.
A Likud source told journalist Bini Ashkenazi on Thursday that the party's primary elections have been postponed from August 17 to August 30. The reason for the delay was not provided in the brief report.
The reported postponement adds to a series of date changes and internal disputes over the Likud primary process. The Zioneer has previously reported on the Likud Constitution Committee's decisions, including a unanimous vote for August 4 primaries in late June, and subsequent reports of delays to mid-August. The new date of August 30 would push the vote further into the summer, with the party still navigating internal tensions over candidate selection and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's demands for reserved slots on the list.
The report did not specify whether the new date has been formally approved by the party's institutions.
