Moshe Lion confirmed as Jerusalem mayor as votes by soldiers, prisoners tallied
Results from the counting of votes by IDF soldiers, prisoners, and hospital patients in the second round of the Jerusalem mayoral races are tallied, confirming ultra-Orthodox-backed Moshe Lion as the next mayor of the capital.
After almost all of the additional ballots are counted, Lion’s previous advantage of some 6,500 votes over secular rival Ofer Berkovitch slightly shrinks, but remains wide enough for an upset to be mathematically impossible barring irregularities causing a recount.
