Local Elections, Tel Aviv
Close Race for Tel Aviv Mayor
A new Maariv poll shows a close race between incumbent Mayor Ron Huldai and challenger Orna Barbivai.
One of the more interesting local elections to take place at the end of this month will be in Tel Aviv, where a close race is emerging between veteran Mayor Ron Huldai and former minister and MK Orna Barbivai, who left the Knesset to run in local elections.
According to a Maariv poll, Huldai is expected to win, albeit not overwhelmingly: Huldai gets 36%, Barbivai 30% and the rest either chose other candidates or don’t know/haven’t decided. Where this large group breaks may determine the fate of the election.
