Likud Sets August 4, 2026 Date for Party Leadership Primaries
The Likud party's Constitution Committee, chaired by Minister Haim Katz, unanimously approved holding the party's leadership primaries on August 4, 2026. This decision was coordinated with Likud leader and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The committee also agreed to postpone the primaries date, confirming the new schedule during a meeting attended by key party figures including Ministers Haim Katz and Ze'ev Elkin, MKs David Bitan, Eti Atiya, Amit Halevi, Likud CEO David Sharan, and legal advisor Ilan Bombach.
The voter registration deadline was initially set for July 7 but the Constitution Committee plans to request an extension to July 10 from the Likud Election Committee. Additionally, the party intends to publish the primaries' rules and election methods by July 2. This move officially launches Likud's preparations for the primaries, which will determine the party's candidate list for the upcoming Knesset elections.
