Political commentator Moti Kastel reported new details Monday evening regarding potential irregularities in the Likud primary election. According to the report, a sampling check conducted by Channel 14 reveals a gap of hundreds of votes that could alter the final results. The nature of the gap and which precincts are affected have not been specified.
The Zioneer previously reported on the Likud primary process, including the court's rejection of a petition over the national list slots on August 10 and polls showing tight races. The party's primaries, set for August 17, were expected to be highly competitive with over 30 MKs vying for 18 national slots. If the reported irregularities are confirmed, they could significantly impact the composition of the Likud's list for the upcoming Knesset.
No official response from the Likud party has been reported yet. The reliability of the sampling check remains unverified by independent sources.
