MK Sharan Haskel (State Right) filed a sworn affidavit to the High Court on Thursday, alleging that during the second round of voting for State Comptroller, members of the New Hope faction were instructed to film their votes and show the footage to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The affidavit was submitted in the context of a petition seeking to split from the State Right faction. Likud director David Sharan and several Likud MKs previously submitted an affidavit denying the claim. The report also notes that a false affidavit is a serious offense and calls for a criminal investigation to clarify the matter. The High Court annulled the original vote in July, citing violations of ballot secrecy. The Zioneer has reported on the series of affidavits and legal arguments surrounding the vote.
