Jerusalem mayoral candidate quits race, backs leading secular contender
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYosi Havilio, a long-shot candidate for Jerusalem mayor running on a secular ticket, announces he’s quitting the race and throws his support behind Ofer Berkovitch, one of the leading contenders.
“I decided to put the good of Jerusalem over my own and remove my candidacy for mayor,” Havilio writes on his Twitter account.
“As part of my discussions with Ofer, we agreed together that we must continue to maintain a free and pluralistic Jerusalem,” says Havilio.
Despite backing Berkovitch for mayor, Havilio calls on Jerusalemites to vote for his Saving Jerusalem list for the city council.
