Likud says a final count of the party’s primary results will see MK Eti Atia placed 25th on the Knesset slate, a spot secured for a woman, pushing Science and Technology Minister Gila Gamliel to the next one down — number 35.
The party says Atia received 22,210 in a revised count, while Gamliel won 21,754.
Gamliel has filed a polcie complaint over the recount, claiming votes were fraudulently added for Atia, who is a close associate of Likud Central Committee Chairman Haim Katz.
