Zehava Galon clinches Meretz leadership, with challenger Yair Golan finishing in a realistic fifth spot in the left-wing party’s candidate lineup for November’s election.
Outgoing party head Nitzan Horowitz is squeezed out into the seventh spot, likely falling out of Knesset contention if the party continues to poll between 5 and 6 seats.
Returning lawmakers Mossi Raz, Michal Rozin, Ali Salaha, and Gaby Lasky fill out the second, third, fourth, and sixth realistic spots, respectively.
