Likud authorizes PM proposal to fold Kulanu into party as new elections loom
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Likud Secretariat has voted to approve a proposal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fold Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu party into a joint list.
The merger will hold whether or not elections are called later this week.
The amalgamation will see Kahlon given the 5th slot on the party’s list, Eli Cohen the 15th spot, Yifat Biton the 29th spot and Roy Folkman the 35th spot.
The proposal passed despite opposition from several Likud ministers and MKs who spoke out against being bumped back on the party list in order for room to be made for the Kulanu MKs.
