Democrats party chairman Yair Golan has informed candidate Einav Tsengauker that she will not be placed on the party's Knesset slate, N12 reports. The decision comes after the party's primary elections held in July, in which Tsengauker was a candidate. Golan's office did not immediately comment on the reasons.
Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, contacted Einav Tsengauker and other potential candidates Thursday evening to inform them that he will not use his reserved slots on the party's Knesset list, according to a report by Daphna Liel (N12). The decision follows the party's primary elections held in July, in which Tsengauker was a candidate but did not win a realistic spot. Golan's reserved slots (shiryonim) — positions on the list reserved for the party leader — are typically used to secure spots for candidates who ranked lower in the primary. His decision to forgo using them is a departure from common practice and could affect the makeup of the party's slate. No explanation was provided by Golan's office.
