The Herut Party emerged as the leading Zionist party here when the votes cast in Sunday’s election for the 24th World Zionist Congress were counted today. This is a complete reversal of form, since the rightists trailed all other parties in the last Zionist elections here six years ago.
The Herut count was 911; the Mapai, 781; General Zionists, 733; Mizachi, 514; Manam 504, and Achdut Avodah, 416. Belgium’s three votes at the World Zionist Congress will be distributed on the basis of one each to the Herut, Mapai and General Zionists.
