Shas Chareidi candidate Moshe Abutbul has apparently been swept into office as Mayor of Beit Shemesh garnering 52% of the vote to B’yachad’s Shalom Lerner with 30% and incumbent Mayor Danny Vaknin a distant 3rd with 17.7% of the vote in a campaign which degenerated into a host of dirty tricks and “stinking manuevers”, mostly by coordinated by one candidate’s campaign, in the final 72 hours before the vote and in which there were a slew of voting irregularities (i.e. torn or non-existent Shalom Lerner ballot slips at certain voting stations) on election day.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that the numbers shown here are not official and, unlike in the U.S. or even the results of a national election, there will be a number of versions of the results until we have the actual official numbers. <\/strong><\/p>\n
