Jerusalem – The Likud deliberately released results indicating that party activist Moshe Feiglin received less votes than he really did, his campaign charged Thursday morning.

Michael Fuah, the director-general of Feiglin’s Manhigut Yehudit movement, said he was shocked when he saw the formal results released by the party Wednesday night. He said he intends to file a formal complaint to the head of the Likud elections committee, retired judge Yehoshua Gross, Thursday morning.
“There is a serious problem in the results,” Fuah said. “There are places where Moshe won by much more than what they said he did. This election is a matter of scoring points and it makes a big difference if the numbers are. Something improper was done here.”
Fuah said Feiglin had observers in the polling stations who had different numbers than what was published by the Likud. For instance, in Beit Shemesh, the Likud said Feiglin beat Netanyahu 126 to 77, but according to Feiglin’s numbers, he beat Netanyahu 274 to 60.
Feiglin’s associates said numbers were also wrong in Ma’ale Adumim, one of the Likud branches in Tel Aviv and other places across the country.
According to the numbers released by Likud, Feiglin won 23.21 percent of the vote, down from 23.4% in the last election in 2007. If Feiglin received more votes than indicated by the party, it could be that the Likud reported falsely that Feiglin’s support decreased.
Likud spokeswoman Noga Katz said she would only respond when Feiglin’s complaint has been received by the party.
