Tel Aviv Mayor Huldai considering run for Labor leadership

JUNE 20, 2015 22:19

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai will decide in the coming months whether or not to run against opposition leader Isaac Herzog (Zionist Union) for leader of Labor, he said at a cultural event in his city Saturday.

“Many people from all different parts of the nation have called on me [to run],” he said. “I am weighing and considering. I am not hurrying or jumping.”

Huldai declared that he will make a decision in the fall.

Labor’s constitution states that, if the party loses an election, it must hold a leadership primary within 14 months, which means the next vote will be held by May 2016. Labor, together with Hatnua, make up the Zionist Union faction in the Knesset, but the parties have not merged.

The Tel Aviv mayor’s statement came after, earlier this week, many Labor members received phone calls polling them as to whether they would support Huldai in a primary, and to rate his charisma, principles, trustworthiness, integrity and ability to make decisions.
