The Democrats party's proposed constitution includes a clause, reported as the 'Naor Narkis clause,' that would allow party leader Yair Golan to unilaterally move two candidates up or down the party list if their presence 'materially harms' the party's electoral chances, according to Israeli media.
The Democrats party's proposed constitution includes an unusual clause that grants party leader Yair Golan the authority to unilaterally adjust the positions of up to two candidates on the party's electoral list, if their inclusion 'materially harms' the party's electoral chances. Israeli media reported the clause, dubbed the 'Naor Narkis clause' in local coverage, referencing candidate Naor Narkis, a former IDF officer who was previously accused of violating his military service agreement (as The Zioneer reported on June 16). The provision has drawn attention as a potential mechanism to remove controversial or unpopular candidates without a full internal vote. The proposed constitution has not yet been formally ratified by the party.
