After meeting with senior party officials, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced, the Likud will hold a vote on its leader within six weeks.
The vote will come after the clock has run out for another member of Knesset to attempt to enlist a 61 seat support for a new coalition.
Sources close to MK Gideon Sa'ar, who is challenging the prime minister for the top job, said he is still trying to have a vote in the 17 days left before new elections are called.
