MK David Bitan filed an urgent request to the Likud party court on Wednesday, asking to be allowed to submit his own proposal for primary election regulations, after the Constitution Committee failed to convene by the court-ordered deadline of Tuesday 13:00, according to the request.
MK David Bitan (Likud) has filed an urgent request to the Likud party court, seeking permission to submit his own proposed regulations for the party's primary elections. The request, reported Wednesday, argues that the Constitution Committee violated the court's earlier decision by failing to convene by the Tuesday 13:00 deadline. Bitan asks to be allowed to present his proposal alongside those of the movement chairman and the previous regulations.
This is the latest twist in an ongoing Likud internal dispute over the primary election mechanism. As The Zioneer reported, the Constitution Committee has faced repeated delays, with chairman Haim Katz previously clarifying that a scheduled meeting would proceed as planned. Bitan had earlier petitioned the party court to block any attempt to bypass primaries through an arranging committee.
