Former party chairman and MK Jamal Zahalka told Walla! NEWS that he congratulates Abu Shehadeh and is proud of all those elected: "We are the only party that has done primaries and we are proud of that," he said.

"In a democratic atmosphere, we are coming out of this election united. We will wage a struggle against parties on the right and left that go out to rake in votes in Arab society, and at the same time unite the ranks in society with a common program."



"Balad remains Balad," Abu Shehadeh said after his victory.

"This is a party with clear principles, a clear path and a clear platform. I will work to strengthen it and restore its audience and political power, while strengthening its internal unity."



Referring to the rift created in the joint list, Abu Shehadeh said that "Balad has a negotiating team that is already in talks with all the parties, and I think we will be able to come up with a message in the near future."

He added that "I have been a member of the party for 25 years, 'second generation' in Balad, after the founding generation.

My feeling tonight is one of respect and pride.

"I am proud of all my members in Balad for the democratic path and I will continue to work with members of Matans Shehadeh to advance the affairs of the party and the affairs of Arab society."

"We are going to the elections with a strong and diverse list, and we will continue to work to promote the public rights of our voters," MK Yazbek wrote on her Twitter account.



"This is a scoundrel and a prey," they said after the election in the Jewish Power Party. Jewish power will fight with all its might to ensure that a party that fights for the right of return and works against the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish state will not be in the Knesset of Israel.
