As vote counting continues for the 26th Knesset elections, preliminary results show a surprising outcome for two minor parties. The "Chain for Love and Unity of the People" list, led by שרשר המלך, has garnered 343 votes so far. This figure surpasses the 127 votes received by "Israel First," headed by former Knesset member שרן השכל. The difference of 216 votes is notable given השכל's prior parliamentary experience.
Among other parties falling below the electoral threshold, the list of יועז הנדל and ירון זליכה leads with 28,125 votes. Following them is עופר וינטר's party, which has secured 17,442 votes. These numbers are interim and may change as the counting progresses, but none of these lists are currently projected to reach the 3.25% electoral threshold.
Further down the results for parties below the threshold are "The Haredi Public" with 2,003 votes and "Noam LeYisrael" with 1,505 votes. The overall vote count has exceeded one million, with the Likud party leading the national tally.
