Three vie for
Liberal Party
leadership
Jerusalem (JTA) — At
least three candidates will
vie for the first place on the
Liberal Party Knesset list
when the party's 264-
member Central Commit-
tee convenes April 26 to
pick the Knesset slate.
Justice Minister Moshe
Nissim, Energy Minister
Yitzhak Modai and Knesset
Speaker Menachem Savidor
have announced their can-
didacies, and there may yet
be others who will throw
their hats into the ring be-
fore April 26.
Political pundits feel the
odds were fairly even so
long as it looked like a
straight fight between
Modai and Nissim. But with
Savidor announcing his
candidacy, the calculations
have become more complex.
Savidor is unlikely to
emerge as winner. But he
could be a spoiler, harming
the chances of one or more of
the front-runners by divert-
ing support for himself.
Modai and Nissim head
rival factions within the
much-factionalized Liberal
Party. Commerce Minister
Gideon Patt and Tourism
Minister Avraham Sharir
also head factions, but
neither has announced a bid
for the leadership.
Once a leader is elected —
and if the party succeeds in
uniting behind him — the
leader would be in the sec-
ond slot in the Likud Knes-
set list, and would have a
strong claim to a Deputy
Premiership if Likud forms
the next government. (This
was the late Simcha
Ehrlich's position in the list
both in 1977 and 1981.
Ehrlich, a longtime liberal
leader, died last year and
since then there has been no
acknowledged head of the
party.)
There has been muttering
within Herut against the
Liberals' large number of
assured seats on the Likud
list. Herut activists — espe-
cially those who feel de-
prived of a chance to win a
Knesset seat — contend
that Herut brings in the
votes and that the Liberals,
were they to run alone,
would achieve nowhere
near the 18 seats they have
out of Likud's present 46.
Premier Yitzhak Shamir
is unlikely, however, to
upset the Likud-Liberal
balance agreed upon by
Menachem Begin and
Ehrlich almost 20 years ago
when they formed their
Likud (then called Gahal)
bloc that went on to wrest
power from Labor in the
1977 elections.
