Democratic Camp to run again in elections; Yair Golan confirmed as its No. 3
The left-wing Meretz party says it has signed an agreement to renew the Democratic Camp alliance for the upcoming elections as well, making MK Yair Golan — originally from Ehud Barak’s Israel Democratic Party — No. 3 on the slate of candidates.
With the sides branding the move as the “first merge” of parties on the left, Golan holds a press event with Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz, who hails the agreement as “very gladdening and important.”
The party says more candidates will be publicly announced within days.
It calls on the center-left Labor-Gesher party to join forces to ensure both parties clear the 3.25-percent electoral threshold.
