 While Likud did not release numbers, a spokesperson said 2,300 out of 3,700 eligible party members had cast ballots on the measure, which some saw as a litmus test of the prime minister's popularity within the party.After approval by Likud members, Likud's internal court moved the date of the election to 6 January 2015 because the vote lacked a two-thirds majority.Netanyahu will likely appeal the decision of the court.
