According to Amit Segal (N12), the vote count in the Likud primaries shows a narrow margin in favor of Prime Minister Netanyahu's proposal regarding the list composition, particularly concerning the placement of MKs Boaron and Kliner, as counting nears completion.
Amit Segal (N12) reported Monday evening that the vote count in the Likud primaries is nearing completion, with a narrow margin favoring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed list composition. The margin is particularly significant for the placement of MKs Boaron and Kliner, whom Netanyahu reportedly wants on the list and who are seeking election in their districts. This update comes after the Likud Central Committee earlier approved the proposal for eight reserved slots, as Segal reported at 15:56 Jerusalem.
Thread milestones: At 15:56 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that turnout exceeded 40% (v1). As voting closed, turnout reached 70% (v2), then 73% (v3), and finally 72.82% with nearly 4,000 participants (v4). Partial results after half the ballots counted showed Netanyahu's proposals passing by a large majority (v7). Initial reports indicated nine reserved slots (v6), but later updates confirmed eight (v8, v9). The proposal allowing sitting MKs and ministers to run in districts passed by a narrow margin (v8, v9).
Background: As The Zioneer reported on July 1, a compromise proposal for the Likud list would reserve slots for loyalists up to position 25. Earlier Monday, The Zioneer detailed the expected composition of the national list should the proposal pass, based on reporting by Daphna Liel (N12).
The final vote count remains pending, with the exact placement of MKs Boaron and Kliner still uncertain. The narrow margin on the district-run amendment may fuel internal party tensions.
