High Court rejects petition demanding Ohana hold new state comptroller election

|
The Supreme Court rejected a petition demanding that Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana set a date for a second round of voting to elect the state comptroller, following the vote in which Attorney Michael Ravivo was elected. The petition was based on a High Court ruling issued in July, which ordered the cancellation of the second round and a re-run of the first round. The petitioner argued that the Knesset failed to comply as required. The petition was rejected due to the difficulty in implementing the ruling after the election of the 26th Knesset, and Justice Ruth Ronen noted: "I will not express an opinion; if the issue arises in the next Knesset, it will be up to the speaker elected by it." Ohana was ordered to pay legal costs of 10,000 shekels.
