Blue and White names Yevarkan’s replacement: Ex-journalist Andre Kushnov
Blue and White announces that it will fill the 33rd slot on its electoral slate vacated by MK Gadi Yevarkan with “a new candidate to represent the Russian sector,” Andre Kushnov.
Kushnov, who has served as Blue and White’s Russian-language spokesman since November, is a former military correspondent for the Russian-language Channel 9.
He will take the 33rd spot on the list instead of Michal Cotler-Wunsh from the Telem faction, who was due to jump up from 36th.
Yevarkan is slated to run with the Likud party as No. 20 on its slate, assuming his cross-party transfer overcomes legal hurdles.
