Election for leader of the Meretz Party From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2008 Meretz leadership election was held on 18 March 2008.[1]
After Oron declared that he would run for party leader, incumbent party leader Yossi Beilin withdrew from the election.[2]
The election was open to all members of the party.[1] If no candidate had secured an outright majority of the vote in the initial round, a runoff election would have been held.[2]
On the day of the election, Cohen filed a complaint with the party's election committee alleging irregularities at some polling stations. Galon demanded that three polling stations located in Deir al-Asad have their votes discounted, alleging that her campaign's representatives were blocked from overseeing the voting there and were physically assaulted.[2]
Around 75% of party members participated in the election.[1] Oron won the outright majority required to forgo a runoff election, winning the party's leadership outright in the initial round of voting.[1][2]
