Channel 14 Host Bardugo Expected to Get Top Spot on Likud List
Channel 14 commentator Yaakov Bardugo is reportedly set to receive a reserved spot within the top ten positions on the Likud party's Knesset list. This placement is expected to come at the expense of the New Hope party, as part of the merger agreement between the two parties. Bardugo's reserved seat will be deducted from the number of spots allocated to New Hope under the merger terms, rather than being an addition.
While Bardugo's exact position within the top ten has not yet been specified, the move places him in a prominent and central location on the Likud's electoral slate. This development also reduces by one the number of places remaining for New Hope as a result of the merger agreement, potentially altering how the agreed-upon allocations are implemented.
The news comes just hours before the submission of party lists and amid other decisions regarding reserved spots within Likud. Earlier, the Likud's central elections committee rejected a petition by MK David Bitan against the reserved placement of Minister Israel Katz.
