The municipal elections in Tel Aviv, in which polling took place on Monday, have resulted in five seats going to Labour, three to the Dizengoff list, two to the Polish Jews, and one each to the houseowners, Sephardim, Mizrachi, Revisionists, and small traders.
There were about a dozen lists contesting the elections and on the eve of the polling there were about a hundred election meetings held in the town. The chief fight lay, however, between Labour and the supporters of Mr. Mayer Dizengoff, the Mayor of Tel Aviv.
Over twelve thousand votes were cast, of which about 35 per cent. went to Labour, who hold a third of the seats in the new Council.
