Background

The leadership election took place in advance of the 1992 Knesset election. Earlier on the same day as the Likud leadership election, the unofficial tally of the leadership election of the rival Israeli Labor Party showed Yitzhak Rabin as winning that party's leadership.[1]

Both of Shamir's challengers had previously run against him for leadership (Levy in 1983 and Sharon in 1984).[2]

Candidates

Election procedure

The electorate for the leadership election were the 3,000 members of Likud's Central Committee.[1][2] A week before the vote, the party moved to change the required threshold to avoid a runoff election to 40% from the previous 50%.[1]
