Degel's non-decision in Elad

In what, I think, is the last exciting pre-election move in Elad, Shas has called upon its supporters to support the only registered opponent, Barak Tzuberi, to incumbent Yisrael Porush for mayor, while Degel Hatorah has decided to not support Tzuberi but to tell its supporters to not vote for either candidate but to use a blank voting slip for mayor. Degel Hatorah reps have said that they have decided to put the mayoral race behind them as they admit defeat and now will only concentrate on the race for city council.

I don't know what's going on there, but it would have cost them nothing to continue to oppose Porush by supporting Tzuberi, even if they think it is a losing proposition. They also could have struck a deal with Porush to support him and get some promises of positions and power in return.

Instead, with a just several hours left, they are going to spend their efforts on promoting their ticket for city council. Whatever that means. I don't know how they think they can do anything in just one night when most parties have been campaigning for weeks, but good luck to them.
