Likud court says party must hold general primary ahead of national election
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud’s internal court has issued a ruling demanding that the party hold a general primary to determine its full electoral slate.
The party is planning a leadership primary, but central committee executives have sought to cancel the general primary for everyone else, which was last held before April elections.
However, under Likud rules, a general primary must accompany a leadership primary, and the court noted that unless those rules are changed, the general primary needs to be held ahead of the March 2 vote for the 23rd Knesset.
The Walla news site reports that Knesset members are expected to appeal the decision.
