Preparations are set to begin in the coming days for Kadima primary elections, after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Wednesday ordered two senior party officials to select a date for an early poll.
Olmert met on Wednesday MK Tzachi Hanegbi and MK Eli Aflalo, to determine the framework and a possible date for a Kadima party primary. Hanegbi, who is chairman of the committee for party affairs, and Aflalo, head of the party's Knesset faction, requested the meeting in light of growing internal pressure on Olmert to agree to a process that would move the Kadima primary forward. |
