Tzipi Brand will announce today this afternoon that she has joined forces with Yesh Atid mayoral candidate Orna Barbivai and withdrawn her candidacy. With the exception of incumbent Mayor Ron Huldai, only candidate Yuval Zellner remained in the mayoral battle after Reuven Ladiansky announced yesterday that he was withdrawing from the mayoral race.
A recent poll conducted for the headquarters of "Tel Aviv: The Next Generation" examined, among other things, the possibility of two candidates Orna Barbivai and Tzipi Brand joining forces with the incumbent mayor, Ron Huldai and Assaf Zamir, and the interesting result indicates that the two will reach a support rate of 35% against only 30% for Huldai. Also, for the first time, we clearly see the significance of Tzipi's connection to Orna, as opposed to Zamir's connection, which at the time was not significant.

Without this alliance, according to the survey conducted after Assaf Zamir's connection to Ron Huldai and Avigdor Lieberman's announcement of support for Orna Barbivai, all the alliances and support did not benefit Huldai and Barbivai much, with Huldai leading with 31%, Barbibai following with 27%, Tzipi Brand 10%, Yuval Zellner 5%, and Reuven Ladiansky, who had already withdrawn from the race, won 3%. The rate of undecided respondents in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo was relatively high at 23%.
Since the survey, it seems that Huldai has recovered a bit, and was helped by the series "The One" in Kan, which presents the 201st Squadron during the Yom Kippur War, in which during the first three days of the war he actually commanded the squadron, and in the film, contrary to how he is portrayed in public, he looks much more human.
At 16:00, a press conference is expected to be held in the presence of Tzipi Brand and Major General (res.) Orna Barbivai, in which the outline of the joint leadership of the two for the revolution in Tel Aviv-Jaffa will be presented.
