Barkat halfway to victory, but tally can still swing
In Jerusalem, perhaps the most followed race nationally, incumbent Nir Barkat holds a lead of 54 percent to Moshe Lion’s 42%, with nearly half of the city’s ballot boxes counted.
While the lead seems roomy, it represents a gap of just some 6,000 votes, and depending on what polling stations have been counted, can still swing the other way.
Many smaller cities are finishing up counting votes, with winners celebrating victory after several months of campaigning.
