  "account": "A new Agam Institute poll, conducted ahead of Likud primaries, suggests that several current Likud ministers and MKs may not retain their positions in the next Knesset. The 20 ministers and MKs expected to remain in the next Knesset are expected to represent a significant shake-up in the party's composition. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's successor will likely be chosen from among the party members, with Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana leading the preferences among registered party members at 73%, followed by Tally Gotliv with 70% and Boaz Bismuth with 69.2%. Among Likud voters, Ohana still leads, but Nir Barkat ranks first among wavering voters and those who have left the party. The poll indicates a clear preference among registered party members for a fully right-wing government, while a unity government with the center-right is more popular among Likud voters.",
  "summary": "Many current Likud mainstay politicians are expected to be dropped after the party's primaries on Wednesday.",
