Results suggest that it’s the end of an era in the central city Holon as Mayor Moti Sasson appears to have lost his seat at the head of the council after some 30 years.

With 98.9 percent of the votes counted, Shai Kenan  received 43.3% of the ballots, Israel Morris Moran won 27.2%, and Sasson took just 17.8% of the votes.

“After 30 years, I was surprised,” Sasson tells the Ynet news site.
