(Updated Monday 9:45 AM) A Labor party committee yesterday, voted to cancel the party’s primary elections. The decision to eliminate the primaries must now be approved by several other committees before it becomes binding. If that happens, the party lineup in the October 2003 elections would not be determined by the more than 70,000 party members, but rather by a internal committee.
Knesset speaker, and Labor party MK Avraham Burg announced that if the primaries were in fact canceled, he would not run for the party’s top spot. Several other top officials in the party were critical of yesterday’s announcement.
