Yachimovich to serve as leader of the opposition

Labor chairman Avi Gabbay on Tuesday evening appointed MK Shelly Yachimovich as leader of the opposition instead of Tzipi Livni, following the dissolution of the Zionist Union.

Gabbay noted, "I am proud of Shelly, an excellent MK who leads determined struggles in the Knesset and beyond. Shelly is an example of a public emissary who is committed to change."
