Israeli Parliamentary Election: Even after four elections in two years, the political deadlock in Israel is not seen to end. After the parliamentary elections held on Tuesday, about 90 percent of the votes have been counted on Wednesday, but no party seems to be getting a clear majority. In such a situation, the possibility of a fifth election has increased. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party has emerged as the largest party. It has got 30 seats. However, the 71-year-old leader-led right-wing coalition has a magical figure of 61 seats.
The lowest turnout in four elections so far
The total number of MPs in the Israeli parliament is 120. The turnout was 67.2 percent, the lowest in four elections. Last time, 71.5 percent votes were cast. The second largest party is the Yash Attid party led by Yair Lapid. It has got 17 seats. While some experts have considered repeated elections to be the reason for the low turnout, some have cited the weekend festival as a major reason. The exit poll on Tuesday evening also said that no one could get majority. On the other hand, political experts believe that the right-wing Yamina party may join Netanyahu's coalition. If that happens, Netanyahu's coalition will only need two more seats for a majority. On the other hand, Mansoor Abbas, the winner of the United Arab List Party, has not opened his cards.
Election poll claims accurate
An election poll in Israel was pointed out that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party would abstain from a majority in the election. It was said in this survey that to gain power, Netanyahu's party will have to depend on smaller parties. Small parties can play an important role in government formation this time. Significantly, during the period of two years, parliamentary elections have been held in Israel for the fourth time. The election was seen as a referendum for Netanyahu. The corona virus vaccination campaign led by Netanyahu is seen as a successful campaign worldwide. However, accusations of corruption on Netanyahu served to tarnish his image.
