Likud Court Bars Ministers and MKs From Running in District Primaries
The Likud party's internal court ruled on Tuesday night against a recent proposal approved by a narrow margin at last week's party convention. The proposal would have allowed current Knesset members, ministers, and deputy ministers to run in district primaries. This decision is a setback for incumbent MKs who supported party leader Benjamin Netanyahu's reserved seats plan and sought an easier path to secure district nominations. According to the ruling, district representatives elected in the Likud primaries will fill list positions 27, 28, 30, and 31, which will now be occupied exclusively by new faces rather than sitting ministers or MKs.
