Mayor Ruvik Danilovich of Be'er Sheva has said "no" to Chairman Avi Gabbai's proposal to secure a place for him at the second highest spot on the Labor Party list of Knesset candidates.
Danilovich said, "In the last three Knesset elections, I have received proposals from various parties to integrate into their lists. I thanked them politely and I informed all those who contacted me then and this time that I see my public mission in the Negev as a national mission. This is the crowning glory of my life's work and I intend to continue to serve the country from the Negev."
