Israel’s Labor party held primaries Monday to choose who will be on its slate for the coming March elections, days after MK Merav Michaeli won the leadership primary and secured the top spot.
Following a surge of some 8,000 new members amid Michaeli’s victory — which has seen a mini-revival for Labor in the polls — 45,093 people were eligible to vote in the primary, casting their ballots via the internet or at nine polling stations.
They each chose five to seven candidates out of a list of 62.
