Psych! Likud will put off decision on leadership race, cancel primaries
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFollowing reports it was set to approve a party leadership primary at its upcoming meeting, Likud says it will not in fact hold a vote when it convenes next week.
The Likud Central Committee will instead only approve cancelling primaries for the party’s electoral slate and put off a decision on calling a leadership race if new general elections are called, as appears likely.
Sa’ar called last month for a leadership race to be held before the December 11 deadline for the Knesset to tap one of its members to form a government, a possibility now off the table with the Likud announcement.
