Barkat appears to be heading for victory

Channel 2 says it calls Jerusalem for mayor Nir Barkat, who currently leads Moshe Lion 54% to 42% with over 70% of ballot boxes counted. Though things may still change, many Lion supporters appear to be accepting defeat, with a large number leaving the Jerusalem party hall he rented out.

In Ra’anana, former mayor-cum-Jewish Agency head-cum-Kadima MK Zeev Bielski is cruising to a victory against current mayor Nahum Hofree. “It’s sorted,” he tells Channel 2.
